Israeli authorities said on Monday they have launched a programme to raise soldiers' awareness of antiquities following incidents in which sites located on firing ranges were damaged during training.

"It has occurred on more than one occasion that because of a lack of awareness about antiquities on the part of soldiers and their commanders, sites were damaged while training in firing ranges," the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) said.

As a result, the armed forced and IAA decided to cooperate "for the purpose of boosting soldiers' awareness regarding the importance of the antiquities, which constitute the cultural heritage of Israel".
