Israeli forces set up ‘surveillance room’ at Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron



HEBRON (Ma’an) — Israeli forces set up on Monday a new surveillance room at the main entrance of the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron.


Director of Hebron endowment Taysir Abu Sneineh condemned the setup as meant to pressure worshipers and mosque visitors, and to “complicate security procedures in the area.”


Abu Sneineh said Israeli forces were continuing alleged procedures to turn the Ibrahimi mosque into a synagogue, and “violating all laws of freedom of worship and humanitarian laws.”


He added the directorate of endowment filed a notice to Israel and demanded it remove the room and all barriers against freedom of worship and to reaching religious sites safely.


“Using their arms the Israeli authorities are controlling the Ibarhimi mosque, and we reject and condemn these racist acts,” Abu Sneineh said
