Palestinians struggle to preserve heritage - 25 Apr 09:

"The few operational museums in the occupied West Bank are small and underfunded, while scores of archaeological sites have been abandoned.

Archaeologists say there are important sites they cannot reach. Some have been left to the elements, and others have been confiscated by Israeli authorities.

Nour Odeh reports from East Jerusalem."



Comment: I have seen many newspaper reports on how Israeli Occupation soldiers invaded many archeological sites during the second intifada and stole archeological artifacts. The Israeli occupation never acknowledged taking these artifacts, but Many Palestinians believe such artifacts were sold to dealers in the black market.
Let's hope Al-Jazeera investigates this issue further.
