Tell Ruqeish
- ... that Tell Ruqeish is "on a par with the large urban settlements in Palestine during the Iron Age"?

- ALT1: ... that fortified walls surrounding Iron Age Tell Ruqeish in Palestine are up to 5.5 metres (18 ft) thick? Source: (via Google Translate) "a section of mighty wall was preserved, which closed the settlement from the south ...

Hi @Richard Nevell: I wasn't able to find anything backing up that Tell Ruqeish was affected during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip
in The Art Newspaper. Have I missed something? Tenpop421 (talk) 15:10, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- I linked to the wrong piece in The Art Newspaper, it should have been this one. Now fixed. Thanks for pointing that out, Tenpop421. Richard Nevell (talk) 19:28, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, Richard! That checks out for me. This article, created on 3 March is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No copyvio issues. QPQ done. I prefer ALT1, which is in the body, cited to foreign-language source (which Google Translate verifies). Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 19:36, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
