Israel reopens Byzantine church damaged by Hezbollah
The Israeli Antiquities Authority announced the reopening of the Byzantine church in Nahariya after it was hit by a missile launched by Hezbollah in April. Restoration teams addressed the damage sustained by the site, while preserving the colorful mosaic floor that covers more than 500 square meters and dates back to the sixth century AD. The mosaic features scenes from daily life and Christian symbols. Estimates indicate that the bombing caused damage to the modern structure built to protect the site, while the mosaics remained intact. Its design reflects the richness of Christian heritage and the history of the church's construction atop an ancient temple that dates back approximately 4,500 years.
