About 50 Shiite Muslim pilgrims settled down to chant and prostrate themselves in worship Monday on the grounds of Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon. The hospital is home to a tomb where, in the view of some Shiite Muslims, the head of Hussein ibn Ali, grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, lay interred for centuries following his death in battle.
"This is one of the absurdities of the Middle East. Here we have a sacred place for the Muslims, for the Shia Muslims, and on the other hand 12 km (7 miles) south of here we have other Muslims that shoot rockets at us," said the hospital's deputy director, Dr. Ron Lobel
