Israel Takes Control of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron - West Bank

Israeli flags move in the wind on Ibrahimi Mosque after it was stripped of the authority of the Palestinian Ministry of Religious Endowments and the Hebron Municipality, based on an Israeli decision, in Hebron, West Bank on July 16, 2025. Israelis claims that this mosque is a Jewish religious site with which Muslims and Palestinians have no connection. The occupation began controlling the mosque in 1994 after a settler carried out a massacre against worshippers. The mosque was divided in terms of location and time, and attacks increased since October 7, 2023. It was closed repeatedly to Muslims and settlers were allowed to storm it and hold their parties.
