On Monday, illegal Israeli colonizers and soldiers invaded the western area of Artas village, south of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.
As’ad Lutfi, the mayor of Artas, said the colonizers invaded Palestinian lands in the Khallet Al-khokh area after the army surrounded and isolated it.
He added that the Palestinians were prohibited from entering their invaded lands while the settlers toured and prayed before withdrawing.
The army and dozens of colonizers have escalated their invasions into Solomon Pools and the western area of Artas.
