On the 25th of February 1994, the first of three massacres was committed by Israeli settlers accompanied by the Israeli Army. There were more than thirty victims and two-hundred and seventy injured. The main massacre took place while the victims were performing al- Fajr (Dawn) Prayer at Al-Ibrahimi mosque.
A Jewish American Zionist physician was responsible for the perpetration. He decided to materialize the dream of the typical Zionist movement of exterminating the Arab existence in Palestine. It was during a religious festival day when Dr. Goldstein decided to execute his old plan of revenge.
As a typical Zionist his prime intention was to get away from the Israeli army and get the job at the same time. Therefore, he decided shoot the worshipers on the back. He finally made a move to run the plan as expected. This resulted in taking lives of thirty people and injuring more than hundred and twenty. He had made use of a grenade to initiate the attack and as the attack went by he had positioned himself near the exit so that he would get a clear vantage point for his shooting. This has been recorded as one of the recent massacres. As this took place on a day which was important to the religious Muslims, it dragged more attention.
