(The Times-UK) Anshel Pfeffer - The fortress that dominates Acre on Israel's northern Mediterranean coast dates back to the Crusaders in the 12th century. Two years ago, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) was called in to strengthen the fortress wall facing the bay. They discovered the wall was pockmarked by dozens of holes that had been covered up by plaster. When the restorers removed the plaster, they discovered 17 British cannonballs that had penetrated nearly a meter into the wall. They date from the Fourth Battle of Acre on Nov. 3, 1840, when the Royal Navy fought against an Egyptian-Ottoman army. 2021-04-01 00:00:00Full Article
