The Israeli Army Distributes Flyers in Qalqilya Demanding to Lower the Volume of the Adhan

Qalqilya (West Bank) / Qais Abu Samra

The Israeli Army distributed, on Tuesday, flyers in the village of Ras Tira in Qalqilya Governorate in the northern occupied West Bank, requesting residents to lower the volume of the adhan in the village's mosques.

Local sources reported that Israeli forces raided the village and distributed the flyers under the pretext that the sound of the adhan "disturbs" settlers in the "Alfi Menashe" settlement built on the village's lands.

The sources added that the Israeli Army threatened to arrest the mosque imams if the volume of the adhan is raised again.

This comes at a time when the Israeli Army continues its operations in the West Bank, carrying out raids and arrests, and killing Palestinians.

According to Palestinian government sources, the toll of Israeli Army and settler assaults in the West Bank and Jerusalem has risen since the start of the genocide war on Gaza on October 8, 2023, to 1,097 Palestinian deaths, in addition to about 11,000 injured and more than 21,000 detained.

The genocide war has also resulted in the killing of more than 70,000 Palestinians and injuring more than 171,000 in the Gaza Strip, most of them children and women.
