HEBRON, Wednesday, May 04, 2022 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces and settlers today placed the Israeli flag on top of al-Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron and along the walls of the mosque in preparation to celebrate Israel’s Independence Day.

A group of settlers, guarded by Israeli forces, placed the flags on top of the Muslim holy site to celebrate Israel’s Independence Day.

Head of Hebron’s Waqf, Nedal al-Jaabari, condemned this act as a provocation to the feelings of Muslims and a blatant violation of the sanctity of holy sites and of all international conventions and norms.

He said that such measures come as part of the Israeli occupation’s plans aimed at Judaizing the mosque and changing its historical identity.
