NABLUS, Monday, June 24, 2024 (WAFA) – A group of Israeli colonists today stormed the archaeological site of Sebastia, north of Nablus city, according to a local source.
Sebastia mayor, Mohammad Azzem, said that dozens of colonists stormed the archaeological site in the town, under heavy protection from the Israeli army.
Located 11 kilometers to the northwest of Nablus, Sebastia is a small historical town located on a hill with panoramic views across the West Bank and has a population of some 3,000 Palestinians.
He added that the town and its archaeological site have been targeting by occupation army and colonists in an apparent prelude to taking over them for the benefit of colonial expansion.
