SALFIT, June 3, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli forces raided several archaeological sites in the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan, west of Salfit in the occupied West Bank, on Tuesday, according to local sources.
Witnesses reported that soldiers entered multiple historic locations, including the ancient site of Dar Al-Darb, the Mansoura Palace, and the Tel area, among others.
The raid is part of a broader pattern of Israeli activity targeting the town’s heritage sites. Residents say the area has been subjected to repeated colonist incursions, land clearing, and restrictions on Palestinian access — measures seen as part of an ongoing effort to seize and alter the character of these culturally significant locations.
