BETHLEHEM: Israeli colonists, under the protection of the occupation forces, Tuesday installed two mobile homes on the lands of the village of Artas, south of Bethlehem. The head of the Artas Village Council, Lutfi Asaad, told WAFA that colonists set up two mobile homes 'caravans' on the lands of Jabal Abu Zeid, specifically 'Deir Artas,' and raised Israeli flags. It is noteworthy that the colonists have recently escalated their repeated attacks on Mount Abu Zeid; such violations included erecting a tent, demolishing stone chains, restoring caves, and preventing citizens from reaching their lands.
