A 6,000-year-old copper fishing hook, possibly used for catching sharks or other large fish, has been discovered during an Israel Antiquities Authority excavation in Ashkelon, they announced on Wednesday morning.
 

The fishing hook - one of the oldest ones to ever be discovered - was uncovered prior to the construction of a new neighborhood in Ashkelon back in 2018, and will now be exhibited for the first time this April at the 48th Archaeological Congress, organized by the Israel Antiquities Authority, the Israel Exploration Society and the Israeli Archaeological Association.
