The story with the Golan Heights: One day, there was a war in 1948. At the end of the war, Israel controlled the area surrounding the Sea of Galilee, but not the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights overlook the Sea of Galilee. Syrian troops harassed fishermen and the local communities in Israel. During the Six Day War, Israel took the Golan Heights, giving the Sea of Galilee a buffer zone.
We drove up the Golan Heights. The views were beautiful.
We went to the top of a mountain that at one time served as an outpost. It had a beautiful view.

There were also amusing sculptures made out of tank parts.
Finally, I saw a Merkava.
