When was Israel found?

Answer 1

It was founded at the time of Joshua's conquest, beginning in (according to traditional chronology) 1272 BCE.

Answer 2

Answer The modern state of Israel was founded on May 14, 1948, after Jews had been returning to the nearly barren land for decades. The background info that may help: the British were leaving and there was word that the Arabs might attack, which they did (War of Independence). Although the patriarchs had lived there prior, Jews as a nation first entered Israel in 1273 BCE, on G-d's command.

However, the question is "When was Israel found", i.e. "When did the the person who discovered the land where Israel now stands do so?" -- The answer to this is that we have evidence that the first Homo sapiens crossed into Haifa roughly 100,000 years ago, but, of course, we have no idea the identity of the person who did this.
