Hundreds of settlers stormed the Solomon's Pools archaeological site south of Bethlehem on Thursday afternoon.

According to local sources, hundreds of settlers, under the protection of occupation forces, stormed the archaeological site of Solomon's Pools, spread out along the three pools, and performed biblical rituals.

The sources added that the occupation forces completely closed off the area, preventing citizens from approaching, and preventing vehicle traffic from reaching the village of Artas and the city of Bethlehem.
