10 biblical places in Israel about to be “destroyed” by the Century Agreement

At least 10 historical sites in the Bible are in danger of being destroyed by the enforcement of the U.S.-sponsored “Agreement of the Century.”

All would be under the decision of the Palestinian Authorities.

Jewish residents in areas such as Judea and Samaria expressed concern over this issue, as their communities are isolated by what they call “a hostile Palestinian state.”

However, there are other, older cities that have the same level of threat, highlighting some 10 biblical archaeological sites that will be handed over to the Palestinian authorities when the agreement is implemented.

It seems that the Palestinian Authority has a reputation for “preventing Jews from entering biblical sites” and also for destroying them directly; this list provided by the Breaking Israel News website shows what they are:

The altar of Joshua:

Located on Mount Ebal, it is the altar that Joshua built when he entered Israel. After the agreement, it will come under Palestinian authority.

Joseph’s Hole:

Located a few miles southwest of Jenin, “Tel Dothan” is the place where the sons of Jacob threw their brother except Joseph into the well and sold him to Ishmaelite traders. Later it became known as the home of Elisha and the place of the visions of the chariots of fire.

Maon:

From the southern hills of Hebron, this is an ancient village that was colonized by the tribe of Judah and where King Saul persecuted David.

Tel Tekoa:

A massive mound that is 825 meters above sea level, this is located in Bethlehem and the Dead Sea being the residence of two wise women as told in the book of Samuel.

Ancient Sebastia:

Found on the outskirts of the Samarian city of Shechem, Sebastia was the capital of the biblical kingdom of Israel in the eighth and ninth centuries B.C. Years later it became part of King Omri’s lands in Tirsa.

Hyrkania:

Right in the middle of Jerusalem and Qumran, this town served as an uprising against Herod, and in which Herod himself imprisoned and killed his enemies.

Tel Hebron:

This was the site of Jewish community rituals in Canaanite and Israelite periods, and it is also the place where Abraham bought the tomb for the burial of his wife Sarah.

Tel Aroma:

This is one of the 8 fortresses established to protect Israel’s eastern border, located at the crossing of the Jordan Valley and the heart of Samaria.

Ancient city of Jericho:

Also known as Necropolis, this is the first city that the Israelites conquered within the town.

Tel Ziph:

This region is special because it is the place where Saul sought David, a site fortified by Rehoboam.

Jews who frequent these historic sites express concern that these sites will come under Palestinian jurisdiction if the so-called “Century Agreement” is competed with.
