The Palestinian Authority (PA) has recently seized a Hasmonean-era fortress in Samaria and has converted it into “a Palestinian tourist site” as part of its campaign to seize Jewish heritage sites and transform them into “Palestinian sites” while systematically demolishing archaeological findings. The Shomrim Al Hanetzach (Guarding Eternity) organization discovered Sunday that the PA has installed a new massive flag mast and lighting at the fortress of Arama, an ancient Hasmonean archeological site which dominates the ancient road from Shechem (Nablus) to the Jordan Valley. Tel Aruma, which is mentioned in the Bible as the city of Avimelech, was the northernmost fortress of the Jewish state during the Hasmonean period. Photos from the site seen by TPS show that the PA’s construction has caused damage to the fortress’ wall and blocked its water reservoirs. The PA also added a heavy concrete casting for the PA flag flying at the site. “The PA has declared war on our history,” Shomrim Al Hanetzach warned. Shomrim Al Hanetzach is dedicated to fighting the rampant Arab antiquities theft and destruction in Judea and Samaria. The PA is “turning the place into an active Palestinian tourist site while causing shocking destruction of the archeological findings and history which we will never be able to recover,” the organization said. Shomrim Al Hanetzach noted that the phenomenon of antiquity destruction is pervasive and affects all sites that are not under permanent preservation, and a survey of the sites in Judea and Samaria shows that a staggering 95% of the archeological sites have been robbed, vandalized or disturbed. Shomrim Al Hanetzach has formulated a national plan to fight this trend. “According to the Oslo Accords, there is a requirement for full coordination between Israel and the PA in all matters related to archeology, like there is security coordination. Therefore, in a situation where there is no security, Israel is obliged to act, so as in crimes against history, Israel is obliged to act,” Shomrim Al Hanetzach stated. The PA has previously taken control of Israeli and Jewish heritage sites in an attempt to usurp it of its national identity and legacy, in contradiction to the historical and archaeological findings. https://unitedwithisrael.org/palestinians-seize-ancient-jewish-fortress-declare-war-on-history/ 1 Share
