[Jolly Amaranto]

Israel now controls a large chunk of Syrian territory to the east and north east of the Sea of Galilee that they captured during the wars of 1967 and 1973 (Golan Heights). If you drive around the sea on Highway 92 you are still miles from the "new" boarder. There are still some old mine fields that are roped off because they have never been properly swept, but other than that there are only a few Kibbutzes and fishing villages that you will encounter.
