According to the Palestinian Information Centre, the Ministry explained, in a statement yesterday, that Israeli occupation forces and settlers have intensified their attacks against Islamic sanctities under the pretext of tourism.
Occupation forces expelled a number of its ministry employees from the Ibrahimi Mosque for no reason and banned them from entering it, stressing that these measures come as part of the Israeli attempts to empty the mosque of worshippers and workers, after its director was deported from it a week ago.
It stressed that the Israeli occupation, by practicing its daily violations and attacks on the Ibrahimi Mosque, is ignoring all international laws and conventions that placed the holy sanctuary on the list of the cultural heritage in 2017 naming it a Palestinian site.
