Discovered in Israel
TEL AVIV (JTA)-The rem-
nants of a Jewish city dating
back to the 10th century, B.C.,
which was a thriving community
from the period of the first Israel
kingdom until the destruction of
the First Temple in the year 586,
B.C., was discovered north of the
River Yarkon. The city was pop-
ulated by thousands of inhabi-
tants.
At the same time, the traces
of an ancient fortress were dis-
covered along the Yarkon estu-
ary. Indications are that the site
of Tel Aviv was once the seat
of a Philistine town, directly
south of the Yarkon River.
The discoveries were made by
Prof. Benjamin Meisler, of the
Hebrew Archaeological Associa-
tion, who holds the first license
for exploration issued by the;
Israeli Government.
