The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) closed Tuesday the Ibrahimi mosque in al-Khalil (Hebron) to the south of the West Bank for the second day in a row under the pretext of Jewish holidays.
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers were allowed to enter into the holy shrine and to perform their Talmudic rituals in total provocation to Muslim worshipers who remained out.
The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) have earlier declared intention to close the mosque on the Jewish New Year.
The Ibrahimi mosque is regularly closed down by Israeli forces under the same pretext, but Israeli settlers are given full privilege to break into it under heavy military protection.
More than 20 years ago, the IOA divided the Ibrahimi Mosque after the well-known massacre against Palestinian worshipers inside the mosque in 1994. Since then, the IOF soldiers as well as settlers have been storming the holy site without deterrence.

Israeli Minister of Agriculture, Uri Ariel, joined dozens of Israeli extremists who stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, Sunday, under extensive military and police presence, leading to clashes and dozens of injuries among the worshipers.
The soldiers attacked the guards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and dozens of worshipers and students, including many children, and forced them out. The Palestinian TV said the army used excessive force against the Palestinian Muslim worshipers, fired gas bombs and concussion grenades on them, and occupied the rooftop of the Al-Qibli Mosque of Al-Aqsa. The soldiers also chased dozens of residents in the mosque, and engaged in fistfights with many young Palestinians. The Palestinian Waqf and Islamic Endowment Department said the soldiers imposed a strict siege on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Old City, since late night hours, and installed iron barriers to prevent the Palestinians from entering. Dozens of Palestinians have also been injured after the soldiers sprayed them with pepper-spray, in addition to throwing concussion grenades and sound bombs the Palestinians, while many others have been injured by Israeli rubber-coated metal bullets, in addition to scores who were beaten by the soldiers. The Palestinian TV said dozens of Palestinians were also injured, not only in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but also in various Palestinian neighborhoods in the occupied Old City, after the soldiers used excessive force against them, while allowing Israeli fanatics to continue their provocative tours and invasions into the Al-Aqsa courtyards. Many wounded Palestinians received first aid by the medics of the local clinic in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as the army prevented Palestinian medics and ambulances even from approaching it. Arab Member of Knesset, Dr. Ahmad Tibi, who was in the mosque compound during the attack, said Israel is implementing its recent decision to divide the Al-Aqsa Mosque. He added this division is done physically, and by allotting certain hours every day only specified for Jewish settlers , after removing all Palestinian worshipers from the entire area. Dr. Tibi also stated that he and many other Arab members of Knesset, social and religious figures, personally witnessed how the Palestinians were completely removed from the mosque and its courtyards, before the police started allowing dozens of Israeli fanatics into it. The official said the Palestinians would continue to protest and reject all Israeli assaults against the mosque, and will continue their protests to defend the holy sites in Palestine. All Palestinian worshipers have been forcibly removed from the mosque and its surrounding areas, amidst escalating provocative tours and attacks by Israeli fanatics and officials, causing more tension and clashes. In addition, Dr. Tibi said the Palestinians reject the Israeli decision to |
divide of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and will continue to resist it.
The official stated the decision came as a result of years of planning by consecutive Israeli government, the same way they divided the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron.
He added that the current right-wing Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu has one of the most fanatic and extremist elements, and wants to prove to all right-wing parties it was successful in dividing the mosque.

A horde of Jewish settlers last Friday attacked under police protection Palestinian citizens in Silwan district, south of the Aqsa Mosque, which led to the outbreak of violent clashes between the two sides.
Eyewitnesses reported that one of the settlers physically assaulted a Palestinian child from Abu Quwaider family in Silwan, which triggered a hand-to-hand fight between a group of settlers and Palestinian citizens.
They added that two Palestinians were rushed to hospital for treatment when settlers sprayed pepper gas directly at them during the brawl.
Later, the events escalated when Israeli policemen intervened to protect the settlers and indiscriminately showered the angry citizens with tear gas and stun grenades.
Consequently, several Palestinians suffered from inhaling tear gas and received on-site medical treatment from Red Crescent paramedics, according to the eyewitnesses.

The Israeli Tax Authority has rejected a claim for compensation by officials of the Catholic Church demanding compensation for the burnt Church of Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes, which was burnt which was burnt in an Israeli terrorist arson attack, last June.
Israeli Channel 2 has reported, Wednesday, that tax officials, who visited the burnt historic Christian church, where according to Christianity Jesus Christ multiplied loaves and fishes, have decided that the assault "was not a terrorist attack."
Rejecting to label the attack on the Christian church in the Galilee as a terrorist attack means that the Israeli government has no obligation to pay any compensation, as Israel only pays compensation to victims of attacks it deems as terrorist.
The decision of the Tax Authority even ignores statements by senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, who both labeled it as a terrorist attack.
Israel apprehended and charged three Israeli Jewish extremists, believed to be responsible for the attack, and for writing racist graffiti saying, "Idols will be cast out."
The church filed a request for compensation for damages, but their appeal was denied.
The "Times Of Israel" quoted Amir Cohen, a tax authority official, saying that he was not convinced the attack on the church was politically motivated.
Cohen said, "the charges filed against the three Israeli suspects state that their attack carried a religious motivation," and "was based on religious hatred of Christians."
In light of these "findings," and statements, the Tax Authority absolved itself of any financial responsibility, as the law only requires the state to pay compensation for victims of war and terrorism.
It said the attackers believe that the expulsion of Christians is a commandment, as they consider them "idolators."
Christian officials urged Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, who visited to the burnt historic church before his visit to the Vatican a week go, to resolve the matter.
Rivlin contacted that Israeli Government Secretary's office, which, according to the Israeli paper, said it would "find a solution."
