JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Organizers of the "Antiquities Theft in Israel" exhibition could not have chosen a more fitting name for their display.
Burglars on Wednesday broke into the Ashdod Museum where hundreds of artifacts recovered from the black-market were on show and snatched several valuable items, including a silver ring belonging to Alexander the Great and gold earrings.
The Israel Antiquities Authority said the popular exhibition had been running for four years.
