Israeli settlers storm Beit Ummar in Hebron under troop protection
Extremist Israeli settlers stormed archaeological sites in the Hebron town of Beit Ummar in the occupied West Bank on Friday.
Local sources said dozens of Israeli settlers stormed archaeological sites in the town of Beit Ummar while holding maps under the protection of occupation forces.
The settlers also stormed archaeological sites near the illegal settlements of Karmei Zur, south of Beit Ummar, and Gush Etzion, north of Beit Ummar.
Israeli settlers invade archaeological sites north of Hebron
On Friday, a group of illegal Israeli settlers, accompanied by many soldiers, raided archaeological sites on Palestinian lands in the town of Beit Ummar, north of the city of Hebron in the north of the West Bank.
Local activist Mohammad Awad said the soldiers accompanied dozens of settlers to the sites and gave tours while carrying maps of the Palestinian land and sites.
Awad added that the settlers and the soldiers also invaded archaeological areas south of Beit Ummar.
He said the sites are close to the illegal Karmie Tzur colony, which was built on stolen Palestinian lands in Beit Ummar, and extends to the colonialist bloc of Gush Etzion.
Beit Ummar
What happened during this war was really terrible mostly in Sheikh Jarrah and Gaza. Gaza was destroyed. The situation was very bad here in Beit Ummar and the West Bank in general. Israeli soldiers were coming into the town daily even more than once a day. The soldiers caused many troubles for those who were coming to or leaving the town. They were spread everywhere on the entrance of Beit Ummar and on the balconies or roofs of citizens' houses, and their guns were always pointed at people. To be honest, we didn't fear them at all; even the youngest went out to resist. Yes, Gaza was destroyed; many people were killed, many arrested; and there was always tension - but our voice reached many countries around the world. Huge numbers of people became our supporters and saw the truth. Israel definitely had not expected that or the destruction that happened in their living area.
Currently, it's not as bad as before, but we don't know what might happen later.
