Palestine Marks 28th Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre Anniversary
On Friday, Palestinians marked the 28th anniversary of the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre.
Following the brutal killings, Israeli authorities imposed military rule on the West Bank city of Hebron, affecting the religious, social and economic life of residents.
On Feb. 25, 1994, during the dawn prayer and during the month of Ramadan, hundreds of Palestinians were attacked in mass shootings and bombings at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron.
The attack left 29 worshippers dead and dozens others wounded.
Palestinians say the attack was planned by a group of Jewish settlers with indirect assistance from the Israeli army.
Muslims attach great value to the Ibrahimi Mosque, which was built above the tomb of Prophet Abraham.
Jewish settlers also revere the area which they call the Cave of the Patriarch.
