Israeli Forces Close Ibrahimi Mosque, Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa During Jewish Holidays

Israeli authorities closed the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron to Palestinian worshippers until Wednesday evening citing Jewish holidays, while settlers entered Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards under police protection. This is a recurring pattern of access restrictions during religious holidays, but the closure duration and timing may signal heightened tensions. The move is likely to fuel Palestinian grievances and could escalate local unrest.
