Mohammad al-Azem, head of the Sebastia municipality, said a number of Israeli forces raided the town and proceeded to close the site, preventing Palestinians from entering it. Israel's archeological activities in Palestinian territory aim to extend the policy of dispossessing Palestinians of their lands and cultural assets.
Al-Azem has also stressed that the indigenous of Sebastia will not allow the Israeli occupation to one day steal their heritage and will confront every attempt to take over the lands.
Sebastia is an ancient town dating back 3,000 years. It extends over 5,000 dunums [1,235 acres] and is inhabited by 3,500 people. Herod the Great named the city Sebaste — meaning Augustus — in honor of Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar in 27 B.C.
The city, famous for its dozens of Roman archaeological pieces and sites, continuously faces attacks by Israeli settlers and the Israeli forces, who have their eyes set on its archaeological sites.
Seth Dillon, CEO of Christian news satire site TheBabylon Bee, has announced that his legal counsel has sent a letter to The New York Times demanding the retraction of an article that insinuates The Babylon Bee is "misinformation."
"We took this action because their article was — and remains — defamatory," Dillon tweeted.
The original version of The New York Times' article branded The Babylon Bee "a far-right misinformation site" that "sometimes trafficked in misinformation under the guise of satire."

Rashad Turner, who founded the local BLM chapter in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 2015, released a video last week titled 'The Truth Revealed about BLM' in which he revealed that he quit after learning the 'ugly truth
A former Black Lives Matter leader in Minnesota who quit after 18 months says he learned the 'ugly truth' about the organization's stance on family and education after working on the inside.
Rashad Turner, who founded the local BLM chapter in St. Paul in 2015, released a video last week titled The Truth Revealed about BLM. In the video, the 35-year-old said he eventually came to the realization that BLM had 'little concern for rebuilding black families'.
Speaking about becoming the founder of the local BLM chapter, Turner said:
'I believed the organization stood for exactly what the name implies - black lives do matter. However, after a year on the inside, I learned they had little concern for rebuilding black families and they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis.'

One of the most ideologically ambitious defenses of Critical Race Theory presents the doctrine as the next logical stage in the process that began with the civil rights movement. This is the argument made by the American Bar Association, the largest voluntary association of lawyers in the world. The ABA instructs us that Critical Race Theory provides a "powerful approach for examining race in society," as well as a "lens through which the civil rights lawyer can imagine a more just nation."

A protester is arrested by police after a vigil was held for Winston Boogie Smith Jr. early in Minneapolis on Saturday, June 5, 2021. Authorities said Friday that a man wanted on a weapons violation fired a gun before deputies fatally shot him in Minneapolis, a city on edge since George Floyd's death more than a year ago under an officer's knee and the more recent fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright in a nearby suburb.
Photos from the scene following a vigil for Winston Boogie Smith Jr., 32, showed dumpster fires in the street and a line of officers standing guard. It was the second night of protests in response to the fatal shooting Thursday in Minneapolis' Uptown neighborhood.
Police said 27 people were arrested in the protest, with 26 accused of rioting and one facing a weapons charge. No injuries were reported. Some businesses sustained damage, police said.
Comment: And just to see who we're dealing with here, from RT:
Minneapolis rioter FORGETS NAME of man on whose behalf he's rioting... Once reminded, he declares on camera, 'REMEMBER THAT NAME'See also:
A Minneapolis protester attended a riot over a man being shot by police, but he couldn't remember the victim's name. Once reminded of the new martyr's identity, he went on camera to tell his interviewer, "Remember that name."
If the scene wasn't already dystopian enough, the suspected criminal who was fatally shot by police on Thursday was Winston Smith, which happens to be the same name as the protagonist in the George Orwell novel '1984'.
A video of the strange encounter during Thursday night's riot in Minneapolis began with the unidentified man saying from off camera, "Stay here, show, like, hold that space, obviously for, I'm not gonna lie, I forgot his name." Another voice, apparently belonging to a journalist with alternative media outlet Unicorn Riot, then said, "Winston Smith."
The man then thanked his interviewer and agreed to go on camera. "Just so you all know, the person that was shot up in there, his name is Winston Smith," he said. "Don't forget that name, Winston Smith. Say his name, and make sure y'all remember this s**t because we're going to fight for him just the same f**king way we fought for George Floyd."

The Defense Department will not allow the Pride flag to be flown at installations under its purview, unlike the State Department, spokesperson John Kirby said Friday.
"After some careful consideration the department will maintain the existing policy regarding the display" at military bases, Kirby told reporters. "There won't be an exception made for the Pride flag.
"This in no way reflects any lack of respect or admiration for the LGBTQ+ community," Kirby continued. "This was really more about the potential ... for other challenges that could arise from that exception."
