Israeli Occupation installs fire alarms in Ibrahimi Mosque as Hebron Endowment warns of "illegal interference"
Hebron – Saba:
Israeli occupation authorities have installed fire alarm systems inside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, exploiting a 12-day security closure—a move condemned by the Hebron Endowment as an "unlawful violation" of its jurisdiction.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the General Administration of the Hebron Endowment, affiliated with the Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, said: "The Israeli authorities installed fire alarms throughout the Ibrahimi Mosque compound, taking advantage of the closure imposed under the pretext of security concerns."
The administration deemed this measure "a blatant violation and illegal interference in the authority of the Ministry of Awqaf, the sole entity responsible for managing the mosque," according to the Anadolu Agency.
The Hebron Endowment emphasized that this step "comes amid ongoing Israeli obstruction of the Palestinian firefighting system project, following their recent unjustified locking of electrical control panels."
On June 11, the Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf reported that Israeli occupation forces had padlocked electrical panels inside the Ibrahimi Mosque, risking power cuts to vital lighting systems.
The endowment called for urgent intervention to halt these repeated violations against the Ibrahimi Mosque, which reopened earlier today after a 12-day closure citing "security reasons."
Located in the old city of Hebron—under full Israeli control—the Ibrahimi Mosque is surrounded by roughly 400 Zionist settlers guarded by some 1,500 Israeli occupation soldiers.
In 1994, Israel divided the mosque, allocating 63% for Jewish worship and 37% for Muslims, following a massacre by a Jewish settler that killed 29 Palestinian worshippers. The Jewish section includes the prayer hall.
