A picture shows Byzantine mosaics dating from the fifth to seventh centuries after being uncovered by a farmer ploughing his land, in the central Gaza Strip on September 19, 2022. Found in an area less than a kilometre (half a mile) from the often tense border with Israel, the mosaics are "in a perfect state of conservation", said French archaeologist Rene Elter, a researcher associated with the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem whose team examined the finds.
