A million-year-old cave was discovered in western Samaria during work to move the security fence nearer the Jewish community of Tzofim, located east of the northern metropolitan Tel Aviv city of Kfar Saba and several miles west of Maaleh-Ginot-Karnei Shomron and Kedumim.
Construction was being carried out to move the security fence closer to Tzofim and to create better traffic patterns for the Israeli and Palestinian Authority vehicles that share the roads.

The construction was stopped after the discovery of the cave to allow for geological testing.
