US repatriates Tyre artifacts to Lebanon
The United States returned ancient artifacts to Lebanon, consisting of lead coffins dating back to the Roman era, from the second and third centuries BC. These items had been stolen during illegal excavation operations in the southern city of Sidon. The artifacts were handed over to the Lebanese consulate in New York and are expected to be repatriated to Lebanon as part of joint efforts to combat the illicit trafficking of cultural property. Lebanese officials noted that these items are distinguished by unique artistic and decorative features and form part of Sidon's rich cultural heritage, which has suffered significant destruction due to Israeli strikes. It is also worth mentioning that the city is currently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site on the endangered list.
