HEBRON, February 28, 2012 (WAFA) – A large group of Jewish settlers Tuesday conducted religious rituals in a mosque in the town of Halhoul, north of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, according to a local activist.
Mohammad Awad, from the National Committee Against the Wall and Settlements, said a group of settlers entered the mosque under Israeli army protection and performed Jewish rituals, provoking Palestinian residents to clash with the Israeli forces.
The army closed off the area and combed it looking for the Palestinian protesters.
