Syrian Village and more Golan Heights

 These pictures are from the Golan. Most of this used to belong to Syria. The bunker on the left is a part of a military base of Syria that Israel took in 67. Many lives were lost that day, and the hand to hand combat was in these dark barracks. It was really interesting and intense.






The following pictures are from Mt. Bental-- and other sites in the north.  We saw the tanks spotting the hillsides, over looking Syria.




 The border of Syria and Israel.
 This is a picture from Mt. Bental-- there's a coffee shop there called Coffee Anan (Coffee in the clouds-- also a pun on Kofi Anan-- because it overlooks the border of Syria and Israel and the UN compound there.)







 These are all pictures from a Syria village in the Golan-- abandoned now. It was eerily  quiet and stunning.
