Palestinian authorities have condemned Israel's decision to close the ancient Ibrahimi Mosque site in the southern West Bank city of Hebron for 10 days.
Ramallah:
Mahmoud al-Habbash, an advisor to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on religious affairs and Islamic relations, said in a statement on Friday that Israel's closure of the mosque is a "war crime", reports Xinhua news agency.Â
"Banning Muslim worshipers' access to pray at the mosque could fuel the sentiments of Muslims around the world," al-Habbash said, adding that it is an interference into the powers of al-Waqf department.Â
