Hundreds protest ‘neglect’ at Cave of Patriarchs

Hundreds of Jewish worshippers gathered at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron on Wednesday to protest the authorities’ “neglect” with regards to the site’s upkeep.

Torrential rains bought down a makeshift tarp roof at the site a week ago.

During Wednesday’s morning prayers, participants held black umbrellas with the slogans “Enough with the humiliation at the Cave of the Patriarchs” and “Stop the disgrace” imprinted on them.
