Tel Aviv [ Israel ], October 1 (ANI/TPS): Israel i authorities prevented what they described as a deliberate attempt by the Palestinian Authority (PA) to damage a major archaeological site in the Binyamin region. The operation, carried out on Monday, targeted PA engineering crews who were preparing large-scale infrastructure work at the Biblical city of Gibeon, a site of great historical and biblical significance.
According to the Israel Defence Forces and the Binyamin Regional Council, excavators and concrete materials intended for use at the site were seized in a coordinated effort with the "Guardians of Eternity" organisation, which first identified the activity. Officials said the attempted work included pouring concrete, clearing ancient terraces, and preparing asphalt surface
