Ben-Gvir and dozens of Israeli settlers performed Talmudic dances in the courtyards of the Ibrahimi Mosque, a Muslim holy site, amid a three-month deadly Israeli expansionist military operation on the northern West Bank.
The occupation closes the Ibrahimi Mosque to Muslim worshippers for 10 days a year on the occasion of Jewish Passover and other holidays, only allowing Israeli settlers access.
The Ibrahimi Mosque, built during Umayyad rule (660 – 750 AD), is one of the oldest historic edifices in the world.
Nearly 700 Israeli settlers in Hebron have terrorised the local Arab population of 201,000 Palestinians for years.
In tandem, hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Wednesday under heavy protection from Israeli police on the fourth day of the Passover holiday to perform Talmudic rituals.
The Israeli police imposed strict security measures, transforming the mosque and its surrounding area into a military outpost and preventing many Palestinians from entering, confiscating their ID cards at the external gates.
Since Sunday, over 1,220 settlers, mobilized by the Jewish supremacist group The Temple Mount is in Our Hands, stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
