Ancient Temple in SW Judea desret, Israel. Israelite defense fortresses that became an Edomite sanctuarey. New evidence of Edomite expansion into Judah also helps explain the presence of a series of Israelite defense fortresses found at Horvat Uza, Horvat HaDrom, Horvat Anim, Horvat Tov and Arad during the seventh century BCE.
Although archeologists have long known that a line of fortified Israelite outposts was erected in the eastern Negev at about this time, the reason for the protective barrier remained a mystery. It is now possible to affirm that these fortresses were built to protect against Edomite invasions, backing up the Biblical references to the conflict between the two peoples with concrete archeological evidence.
