Zionist Israeli occupation authority blocks call for prayers in Ibrahimi mosque

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) blocked Adhan, the call for prayers, at the Ibrahimi mosque in Al-Khalil for 50 times in July.

The Awkaf department in Al-Khalil condemned the IOA for the banning the Adhan, urging human rights groups to intervene and bridle the IOA practice.

The IOA ban on Adhan was because it “disturbed” Jewish settlers, the Awkaf said in a statement, adding that the IOA was also planning to close down the mosque for one day during the month of Ramadan that usually witnesses increasing number of Muslim worshipers.
