Yesterday, the first Friday of Ramadan this year, thousands of Arabs gathered at this holy site, and desecrated it.<BR/><BR/>This morning, when Jewish worshipers arrived for morning prayers, they were shocked at what they discovered. Arabs had urinated next to the Holy Ark, containing Torah scrolls in the "Yeshenei Avot" hall and also tossed Hamas flags into the memorials for the Patriarchs and Matriarchs.<BR/><BR/>This is a continuation of past desecrations at this holy site, despite the fact that it is supposed to be fully guarded with use of high-tech security cameras. Of course, no Arabs were arrested.<BR/><BR/>The Hebron Jewish community demands a proper reaction by the authorities to this desecration, including forbidding Arabs to enter this holy site on other days allocated to them, included the coming Fridays during the month of Ramadan.<BR/> http://www.hebron.com/english/images/article_comment.gifB'nai Elim Blogmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617967603054454251noreply@blogger.com
