Extremist Israeli settlers stormed archaeological sites in the Hebron town of Beit Ummar in the occupied West Bank on Friday.

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.

In recent events, more than 30,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from Jenin and Nur Shams refugee camps to Al-Ain Camp in Nablus. Over 500 homes have been demolished under the pretext of achieving the goal of creating "a land without people." This act represents yet another chapter in the ongoing tragedy faced by the Palestinian people.
