Hundreds of armed Jewish settlers organized a provocative march in the Old City of Al-Khalil under heavy protection provided by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at a late night hour on Friday.

AL-KHALIL (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Hundreds of armed Jewish settlers organized a provocative march in the Old City of Al-Khalil under heavy protection provided by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at a late night hour on Friday.

Local sources said that the settlers' planned march started from the vicinity of the Ibrahimi Mosque and roamed the streets of the Old City until they reached the settlement outpost Daboya in the town's center.

The sources said that the settlers hoisted Israeli flags and chanted racist slogans against the Palestinian citizens and Arabs such as "Death to the Arabs", "Hebron is ours".

Few hundred Jewish settlers are occupying the heart of Al-Khalil city under IOF protection.

Meanwhile, in the same context the IOF banned the Athan (call for prayers) at the Ibrahimi Mosque on 60 occasions since the start of February at the pretext it "annoys" the settlers.
