Abandoned Orabian village on the place of ancient Gath
Tell es-Safi, which is identified by most scholars as the biblical city of "Gath of the Philistines" (the home of Goliath!), is one of the largest tells (ancient ruin mounds) in Israel and was settled almost continuously from the 5th millennium BC until modern times. Continuous excavations are planned for at least the next decade.
