Dozens of Jewish settlers on Thursday stormed a Palestinian archeological site in al-Khalil where they performed rituals under military protection.
A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that dozens of settlers came from the settlements of Beit Hadassah Beit Romano and Tel Rumeida and headed for an ancient site in Beersheba Street.
He added that Israeli troops escorted the settlers to protect them and closed several Palestinian commercial stores during their presence for about two hours at the site.
