Nayrouz News Agency : Israeli occupation forces early Tuesday prevented Palestinian worshipers from performing the Fajr (dawn) prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the West Bank city of Hebron.

In a statement, Director of Islamic Awqaf in Hebron, Hafzi Abu Sunainah, said that occupation troops set up barriers and tightened their military measures on the electronic gates and roads leading to the Mosque.

Abu Sneineh denounced the occupation policy that aims to empty the Ibrahimi Mosque from worshipers, along with the violation against the Islamic sanctities and international covenants which guarantee freedom of worship, calling on Palestinians to perform their prayers at the Ibrahimi.
