1. Kiryat Shemona.
Walking through the streets of Kiryat Shmonah on a summer's day, you might find that it seems peaceful enough. The city center is an attractive blend of greenery, shops and residential blocks. There is no hint of the drama that has been played out in this little Galil town since its inception in the first years of the state.(Submitted on February 4, 2024, by Jerry Klinger of Boynton Beach, Florida.)
But for much of the recent past, a good deal of tension characterized Kiryat Shmonah. For many years, the residents of this town lived under the constant threat of artillery and mortar attacks from P.L.O. (Palestinian Liberation Organization)forces and other forces as Hisballa terrorists north of the Israeli border. Bombs have fallen on the town. There have been casualties. Children often slept in shelters; today, if you knock on the door of any apartment in the city, you will probably find that it contains a security room with reinforced walls for times of danger. And if you ask to see the shelters, you will see the rooms where many children slept, night after night, during tense periods.Photographed By Jerry Klinger2. The Lion's Trail - Kiryat Shemona Marker
