A church that dates to the Byzantine period which is paved with breathtakingly beautiful mosaics and a dedicatory inscription was exposed in an archaeological excavation the Israel Antiquities Authority is conducting near Moshav Nes-Harim, 5 kilometers east of Bet Shemesh (at the site of Horvat A-Diri), in the wake of plans to enlarge the moshav.
...
Unfortunately, at the conclusion of the excavation this mosaic was defaced and almost completely destroyed by unknown vandals.

Может, кто-нибудь из френдов может пояснить, где точно эта церковь находится и в самом ли деле всё так скверно ?

P.S. Между тем, в конце марта расколотили мозаичный пол византийской церкви в Хурват Мидрас.
