AL-KHALIL, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), A limited number of Muslim worshipers observed the Eid al‑Adha prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil City, south of the occupied West Bank, amid tight Israeli security measures.
According to local sources, Israeli forces closed the gates of the Mosque and subjected worshipers to searches at the entrances, causing delays that forced some to leave the area and pray in other mosques.
Only about 300 Palestinians were reportedly allowed to enter the Ibrahimi Mosque in the morning.
Soldiers also fired stun grenades around the Mosque during “Takbeerat al-Eid” (Allahu Akbar chants), sparking panic among worshipers.
Al-Khalil governor Khaled Dudin told Anadolu Agency that Israeli forces closed the gates of the Ibrahimi Mosque and fired stun grenades at worshipers, accusing the Israeli occupation army of practicing “religious replacement and terrorism in all its forms at the Ibrahimi Mosque.”
