Visit to Golan Heights

We drove north from Tiberius to a the most northern point in Israel overlooking Lebanon


Lebanon is just beyond the village in the foreground,



Hezbollah bunkers are buried under the Shite villages in the distance.


From there we drove across the northern border into the Golan Heights. It took about 45 minutes to reach our view point into Syria. We were accompanied to both spots by a retired IDF (Israeli Defense Force) colonel who briefed us on the situation in both locations.



We were overlooking the only border crossing between Israel and Syria. The white buildings are the site of a UN monitoring team.
