(TPS-Jerusalem Post) Pesach Benson - Israeli authorities on Monday prevented what they described as a deliberate attempt by the Palestinian Authority to damage a major archaeological site in the Binyamin region. The operation targeted PA engineering crews who were preparing large-scale infrastructure work at the biblical city of Gibeon. The site, north of Jerusalem, is in Area C, where Israel has both administrative and security jurisdiction. Gibeon is mentioned repeatedly in the Book of Joshua. It is where Joshua made a covenant with the Gibeonites and is the site of the famed battle in which "the sun stood still at Gibeon." Discoveries include a massive pool described in the Book of Samuel, elaborate winery cisterns known as the "Gibeon cisterns," and an underground water system still connected to a functioning spring. Gibeon served as one of the 13 priestly cities in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin and was home to King Saul's family. 2025-10-05 00:00:00Full Article
