Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israeli police bomb disposal experts have neutralized an unexploded British munition roughly 100 years old after heavy rainfall exposed the ordnance in the Binyamin region north of Jerusalem, located north of Jerusalem.
The relic was discovered by local council security personnel near Route 437, adjacent to the community of Alon and the “Island of Quiet” farm.
Founded by local residents Shivi and Or Cohen Arazi, the farm operates as a therapeutic resilience retreat for dozens of wounded Israeli soldiers and security personnel coping with combat trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Following the discovery, a police sapper secured the area and safely destroyed the century-old projectile via a controlled detonation, causing no injuries or property damage.
