Among the church sisterhoods 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.
