"The Ibrahimi Mosque, known to Jews as the Cave of the Patriarchs, has been increasingly controlled by Israeli authorities since the 1994 massacre, which killed 29 Palestinians."
"Following the massacre, Palestinians faced more restrictions, while Israeli settlers began establishing an illegal presence in Hebron, supported by the Israeli government."
"The Hebron Agreement of 1997 divided the city into H1 and H2 areas, with H2 under Israeli control, including the Ibrahimi Mosque and the Old City."
"Settlement activity intensified in Hebron after 1994, with settlers establishing illegal outposts and expanding their presence in the heart of the city."
Hebron's Ibrahimi Mosque, a significant Islamic site, has experienced increased Israeli control since the 1994 massacre of Muslim worshippers. Following this event, restrictions on Palestinians intensified, and illegal Israeli settlements expanded in Hebron. The 1997 Hebron Agreement divided the city into areas of Palestinian and Israeli control, with the mosque remaining under Israeli jurisdiction. This division has led to heightened tensions and ongoing settlement activity in the Old City, impacting the local Palestinian community and their access to the mosque.
