Claim: The video shows Israelis holding a music festival inside the historic Ibrahimi Mosque in the Palestinian city of Hebron after prohibiting Palestinians from entering and praying inside.
Fact-check: An Old video of a music festival organised by Israelis in the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron is shared with misleading assertions - FACTLY
Verdict: this video has been in circulation since 2022 and is not a recent one. the hebron/ ibrahimi mosque was divided between muslims and jews. after the cave of the patriarchs massacre in 1994, ten days every year, muslims get to take over the jewish side, and ten days every year, jews get to take over the muslim side. hebron's website mentions holiday opening and closing schedules for the cave every year and mentions that this is done in coordination between the muslim waqf and the israeli government. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
