The director of the Ibrahimi Mosque, Hafzi Abu Sneina, stated that settlers placed the candlestick on the roof of the Temple Mount to mark one of the Jewish holidays, stressing that this act is a blatant assault, a serious transgression, and a provocation to the feelings of Muslims, as the Ibrahimi Mosque is an Islamic mosque for Muslims.
Come on, we can do better than just calling a Chanukiya a "blatant assault."
For his part, the Chief Judge of Palestine, the President's Advisor for Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations, Mahmoud al-Habbash, condemned the fact that groups of Israeli settlers - with protection from the occupation forces - put the so-called Jewish religious "menorah" on the roof of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, describing this step as a new war crime committed by the occupation authority and a blatant attack on our holy sites and mosques.
There we go! If it isn't a "war crime" then it is hardly worth mentioning.
Here's a photo of what the menorah looked like last year:
