The last in my series of posts from Israel:
After leaving the
Valley of Tears battle monument, we descended from the Golan Heights towards Israel's northernmost town, Metula.
But along the way, we stopped at the Druze town of Mas'ade for lunch at the Nedal Restaurant. Here's the view towards Mount Hermon (
lost then
recaptured during the 1973 Yom Kippur War) from in front of the restaurant:

You can see on this map how far north Metula is:

These map view give a good perspective on how Metula is surrounded on three sides by Lebanon:
