British shell from about 100 years ago found in West Bank, destroyed in controlled explosion

A British shell from about 100 years ago was discovered near a farm in the Binyamin region of the West Bank following recent rains. A bomb disposal expert destroyed it in a controlled explosion.

A nearly 100-year-old British shell was discovered in recent days near the 'Island of Quiet' farm in Binyamin, following heavy rains in the area. The unexploded ordnance was located by the security department of the Binyamin Regional Council near Route 437, and was destroyed in a controlled explosion by a sapper. The farm, established by Shivi and Or Cohen Arazi, residents of Elon, serves as a resilience space for wounded IDF and security forces personnel. The head of the Binyamin Regional Council, Israel Gantz, said there is something special about the fact that precisely near a farm that provides peace to the wounded, a shell from the past was discovered.
