Real Places

our route through israel, indicating lebanese rocket attack sites

This is a map of our travels through Israel last September–ten months ago.

The purple line shows the routes we drove.

The red diamonds indicate some of the targets of recent Lebanese rocket attacks.

(According to The Guardian,
Hezbollah had fired at least 700 rockets into Israel as of July 18th, so I couldn’t display them all. For a more detailed map of the attacks, see this interactive chronological map from the New York Times.)

Some of the towns/cities we visited that were recently targeted:

Acco
Tzfat (Safed)
Tiberias (Tverya)
Mt. Ben Tal, 50km from Tiberias, 25km from Kiryat Shmona. Situated on the Israeli-Syrian border, you can also clearly see Lebanon from here.

I remember being in Haifa about year after the Scuds hit. Real places indeed.
But on a lighter note… This just proves yet again, that you really are bad luck. Tsunamis, hurricanes. Sound familliar? And now rockets and invasion?
In the future, please inform me when you are making travel plans. Personally, I would prefer to avoid the death and destruction that seems to follow in your wake.
