Israel approves a settler-only elevator at Hebron's Ibrahimi Mosque HEBRON, Thursday, March 04, 2021 (WAFA) – Israel's supreme court approved today a license for the installation of an elevator next to the flashpoint Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, which would only serve Israeli settlers. Imad Hamdan, director of the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee, told WAFA that the decision was aimed at Judaizing the holy site and altering its historical characters. He added that while Israel claims that the purpose of the elevator is purely humanitarian, the real intention is to take over as much area as possible in the courtyards of the mosque in favor of the settler community in the city.
