Armed Palestinian Authority police arrested two Israeli archeologists on Monday at an archeological site in northern Samaria under Israeli control.
The "Shomrim al Hanetzach" ("Preserving Eternity") organization, which works to preserve ancient sites in Judea and Samaria, has recently carried out a mapping project of ancient sites suffering from pirate excavations, looting and damage to finds.
The venture was launched after the Trump plan was announced, and has covered the survey of over 100 antiquities sites suffering from severe damage, aggravated by the Corona period and the cut in the Civil Administration's archeology inspection activities.
