Hundreds of Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Hebron observed the Islamic New Year within the Ibrahimi Mosque (also known as the Tomb of the Patriarchs) despite significant Israeli restrictions. The celebrations took place amidst a heightened security presence and limitations on access to the site. Despite the obstacles, Palestinians gathered for prayers and commemorative events marking the beginning of the Hijri Islamic calendar. Israeli authorities routinely impose restrictions on Palestinian access to the mosque, particularly during religious holidays, citing security concerns. The Ibrahimi Mosque is a flashpoint for tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, with both sides claiming religious significance to the site. This year’s observance highlights Palestinian determination to maintain religious traditions despite ongoing occupation and limitations on freedom of movement.
