Hikers found a human skull in the Lifta forest in Jerusalem on Thursday, police said. The discovery follows an earlier report of a skull found at the entrance to the city earlier that afternoon.
A human skull was found by hikers in the Lifta forest in western Jerusalem on Thursday afternoon, according to a report from the source Daniel Amram. Police opened an investigation. The discovery comes after a separate report earlier today of a human skull found at the entrance to Jerusalem, which police were also investigating. It remains unclear if the two finds are connected. Earlier this week, human bones were reportedly discovered in a cave in the same area, though that report remains unverified.
