Palestinians angered over prayer restrictions at Cave of the Patriarchs
|
[Jpost] The Paleostinian Authority (PA) expressed its anger earlier this week over restrictive measures imposed on services for all faiths at the Cave of the Patriarchs tombs in Hebron, according to a JNS report.
The PA accused Israel of deliberately infringing on religious freedoms by applying restrictions, with the Paleostinian WAFA news claiming that the "Israeli occupation forces" stopped Paleostinians from attending morning prayers at the Cave of the Patriarchs (known in Arabic as the Ibrahimi Mosque).
Israel said that the restrictions were placed on public gatherings in a bid to stop the further spread of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
in the area.
The report also noted that IDF forces have allegedly set up checkpoints and inspection areas along roads leading to the religious site, preventing groups of more than 50 people from entering the prayer space.
Hefzi Abu Sneineh, director of endowments for Hebron, criticized the restrictions, saying that "the Israeli measures that strive to keep Moslem worshipers away from the site by closing the electronic gates and blocking residents’ paths at military checkpoints," according to Israel National News.
He added that "an attack on the holy places of Islam" contravenes international treatise on religious freedom.
