Israeli archaeologists say they have discovered a large, 5,000-year-old city in northern Israel.
The Antiquities Authority said Sunday the ancient city was discovered during preparations for a highway project near Harish, a town 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Tel Aviv.
It calls the site a "cosmopolitan and planned city" that dates to the early Bronze Age. It says the city covered 65 hectares (160 acres) and was home to about 6,000 people.
