Because of the corona panic, I managed to enter the Muslim side of the entrance to the Cave of the Patriarchs...

In February 1994, Baruch Goldstein from the Jewish settlement in Hebron, murdered 29 Muslims praying in the Cave of the Patriarchs. That same week, a committee headed by Judge Shamgar, who was then president of the Supreme Court, examined the events in Hebron until then and one of the conclusions of the Shamgar committee was to separate the cave compound in two, Jews separately and Muslims separately, and the gatesinfo-icon between the parts is locked.
