The “Turkistan Islamic Party” completed razing the archaeological site of Tell Qaraqur<\/a> located south of Jisr al-Shughur<\/a> and on the northern entrance of Sahl al-Ghab, local sources from inside Jisr al-Shughur said. The same sources told Syrians for Truth and justice\/STJ that the sweeping process ended in Early September 2017, and according to the residents of the region, the aim of sweeping Tell Qaraqur is the search for treasures like gold, etc….<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that many archaeological sites in Idlib were subjected to excavation and search process in order to obtain antiquities that date back to different eras, apart from the excavation of graves dating back to various periods searching for gold, especially in Christian villages like al-Yakubiyah and al-Qaniyah villages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
