High-school students take part in an excavation by the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) in Lachish Forest near the southern city of Kiryat Gat on November 16, 2021. - A Hellenistic fortified structure destroyed and burned by Hasmoneans was uncovered during an IAA excavation in Lachish Forest, in the Judean Shephelah. "The buildings devastation is probably related to the regions conquest by the Hasmonean leader John Hyrcanus in around 112 BCE," according to IAA archaeologists. Weapons, burnt wooden beams, and dozens of coins found at the site show tangible evidence of a battle between the Hasmoneans and the Seleucids some 2,100 years ago.
