BETHLEHEM, April 14, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces along with colonists stormed the Solomon's Pools tourist area, located between the towns of Al-Khader and Artas, south of Bethlehem, according to security sources.

They said that the occupation forces stormed the Solomon's Pools tourist area through the southern entrance to Al-Khader (Al-Nashash) and deployed throughout the area, allegedly providing protection for the colonists, who had previously announced their intention to storm the area.

Occupation forces also closed the road leading to the Solomon's Pools area and prevented vehicles from passing.
