APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron – 09 June 2021. Israel banned the raising of the Muslim call to prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the West Bank city of Hebron.
STORYLINE
Israel banned call to prayer 250 times at Ibrahimi Mosque in the West Bank city of Hebron Since the beginning of 2021.
The Ibrahim Mosque was built over the cave which contains the tombs of Ibrahim and his wife Sarah and their children, Isaac and Jacob, peace be upon them. The Ibrahim Mosque is one of the oldest historic buildings that exist in the world in terms of its seniority and its sacredness. Its walls have witnessed important events in the history of mankind throughout more than two thousand years. Studies indicate that it was built during the reign of Herod in the last decade of B.C.
In 1917, the British took control of the city and the ability of Muslims to take care of their city became weak. This had a significant impact on the people and structures such as the Ibrahimi mosque. In 1948 and after the end of the British Mandate in Palestine, Jordan was in control of managing the West Bank. Jordan was keen on expanding spaces around the Ibrahimi Mosque to highlight the beauty of its architecture and also wanted to create open spaces around it. In 1967, the city fell into the hands of the Israeli occupation. The Israelis created checkpoints around the Ibrahimi mosque which ed who can visit it. Moreover, the settlers attacks started almost daily to visitors of the mosque and the Israeli occupation army put many restrictions on anyone who wanted to enter.
Despite the struggles of the city, the Ibrahimi Mosque is in the heart of the people in the city who have witnessed and understand its religious and historical significance from thousands of years ago.
