In a related story, some Jews visited Solomon's Pools today, which caused Palestine Today to say:
Dozens of settlers under the protection of the occupation forces stormed the Solomon Pools tourist area.Solomon's Pool, while not built by Solomon, were started during the Hashmonean era to bring water to the Temple Mount and until the 20th century the cisterns on the Mount still received water from them.
Khader municipality Chairman Tawfiq Salah said that the settlers broke into the ponds and set up Talmudic rituals between the second and third pools, and this is part of their belief that it is part of their history and is listed on the tourism map of the settlement of Gush Etzion south of the city.
