May 2025 A missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen successfully evaded Israel's sophisticated air defense systems and landed close to Ben Gurion International Airport, Israel's primary international gateway, in a striking development that highlights the growing regional threat posed by the movement. The incident has raised serious concerns about the Houthis' expanding reach and the efficacy of ongoing U.S. efforts to reduce their capabilities. It also caused minor damage in the area and temporarily suspended flights. A Significant Flaw Israeli military officials confirmed that the incoming projectile was a long-range missile launched from Yemen and that it went through the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow systems as well as multiple layers of defense. Despite the fact that there were no reports of casualties, the psychological impact and significance of striking so close to a heavily guarded urban center cannot be denied. Under oath, a senior Israeli defense official stated, "This represents a serious escalation." “It’s not just about the missile—it’s about the growing precision and confidence of the Houthis. And everyone in the region needs to pay attention to that." US Strategy Under Scrutiny

Africa's history could be rewritten by a huge discovery in Morocco.
The long-held belief that the Maghreb (northwest Africa) was an empty land prior to the Phoenicians' arrival in the area around 800 BCE is thrown into doubt by a new archaeological find at Kach Kouch in Morocco. It reveals a history that is significantly more complex and rich than previously thought. Everything found at the site suggests that stable agricultural settlements on the African coast of the Mediterranean existed more than 3,000 years ago, during the Bronze Age. At the same time, societies in the eastern Mediterranean like the Mycenaean thrived. We now have a better understanding of the recent prehistory of north Africa thanks to our discovery, which was led by a group of young researchers from Morocco's National Institute of Archaeology. Additionally, it reframes our understanding of the ancient connections that existed between the Maghreb and the rest of the Mediterranean. What led to the discovery? In 1992, Kach Kouch was first discovered and excavated for the first time. At the time, researchers thought that the area had been occupied from the 8th to the 6th century BCE. This was based on the found Phoenician pottery. Our team carried out two additional seasons of excavation in 2021 and 2022, nearly 30 years later. Drones, differential GPS (global positioning systems), and 3D models were used in our investigations. For the purpose of collecting samples, a stringent procedure was followed. Because of this, we were able to find charcoal and seeds that had been fossilized. After that, a series of analyses enabled us to re-create the prehistoric economy and natural environment of the settlement. What was found in the remains The settlement was occupied three times between 2200 and 600 BCE, according to the excavations and radiocarbon dating. The earliest known remains date from 2200 to 2000 BCE. They include a cow bone, three unadorned pottery sherds, and a flint flake. Either erosion or a brief occupation of the hill during this time period could account for the lack of materials and contexts. The Koch Koch hill was permanently occupied beginning in 1300 BCE during its second phase, following a period of abandonment. Farming and animal husbandry were the primary occupations of its fewer than one hundred inhabitants. They lived in wattle and daub, a method that combines mud, reeds, and wooden poles, in circular dwellings. To store their agricultural goods, they dug silos into the rock. They raised cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, as well as wheat, barley, and legumes, according to analysis. Additionally, they used flint tools, decorated pottery, and grinding stones for cereal processing. In addition, it has been documented that north Africa, excluding Egypt, has the oldest known bronze object. It's probably a piece of scrap metal taken out of a mold after it was molded. encounters with the Phoenicians The inhabitants of Kach Kouch maintained the same material culture, architecture, and economy as in the preceding phase throughout the so-called Mauretanian period, which occurred between the 8th and 7th centuries BCE. New cultural practices, on the other hand, were brought about by interactions with Phoenician communities that were just beginning to settle in nearby locations like Lixus. Combining Phoenician and local building methods, for instance, circular and square stone and wattle and daub structures coexisted. Additionally, the cultivation of new crops like olives and grapes began. The use of iron objects and wheel-made Phoenician ceramics like plates and amphorae (storage jugs) stand out among the new materials. Kach Kouch was peacefully abandoned around 600 BCE, possibly as a result of changes in social and economic conditions. The people who lived there probably moved to other towns nearby. Who then lived in the Bronze Age? It is not clear if the Maghreb people in the Bronze Age lived in tribes, as the Mauretanian people did later. It's likely that they were organized as families. According to the burials, there were no obvious signs of hierarchy. They may have spoken a language that was similar to the Amazigh, a native language of North Africa that was not written until the Phoenician alphabet was introduced. These populations may be the direct ancestors of the Mauretanian peoples of north-west Africa, as evidenced by the cultural continuity that has been documented at Kach Kouch. Why this is important Not only is Kach Kouch the first and earliest known Maghreb Bronze Age settlement, but it also reshapes how we understand prehistory in this region. The new findings, in addition to other recent ones, show that northwestern Africa has been connected to other Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Saharan regions since prehistoric times. Our findings cast doubt on conventional narratives, many of which were shaped by colonial perspectives that portrayed the Maghreb as an uninhabited, isolated region until it was "civilized" by other peoples. As a result, discussions about the Mediterranean's later prehistory have largely ignored the Maghreb. Not only do these new findings signal a breakthrough for archaeology, but they also make it necessary to reevaluate the dominant historical narratives. The opportunity to rewrite north Africa's history and give it the visibility it has always deserved is provided by Kach Kouch. We believe that this is a pivotal time for research that has the potential to forever alter our understanding of not only the history of north Africa but also its relationship to other Mediterranean regions.
