TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Ma'an, the Tel Ma'in area, located in the Masafer Yatta in the West Bank, is witnessing an escalation of conflict and tensions due to attacks by Zionist settlers with the direct support of the Zionist regime's army.

Published reports indicate that the Zionist military initially occupied four square meters near this area under the pretext of security and then advanced into it and occupied more areas.

The main goal of the Zionist military deployment in this area is to support the settlers' attacks against its Palestinian residents.

The Zionist settlers are carrying out these attacks under the pretext of the existence of an ancient site in the area. In contrast, the Tel Ma'in area is considered part of the Palestinian civilization. Tel Ma'in is a strategic area because it commands large parts of the Masafer Yatta and surrounding areas. Palestinians fear that Israeli soldiers and settlers will eventually occupy the area.
