Israel Information

History
Israel's history begins with the verse "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you" (Genesis 12:1).

Situated in the strategic location between three continents, Israel has always been a target for conquerors through time. Everyone, from the Canaanites, Hebrews, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottoman Turks and the British, left their marks in the area. Much of these visible remains are evidence of the many cultures that have been here in the past, and still effect the present and perhaps the future.

Geography
Israel is located on the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders with Lebanon on the north, with Syria and Jordan to the east and with Egypt to the south.
Israel is a small country and stretches 424 kilometers (263 mi) from north to south, and its width ranges from 114 kilometers (71 mi) to, at its narrowest point, 15 kilometers (9 mi).
The southern part of Israel is the Negev Desert, covering over half of the country's land. The Dead Sea on the east, in the Rift Valley, is located at the lowest point on earth. Up north, in the Golan Heights, is the highest mountain in Israel climbing up to 2224 meters. To the west is the flat and fertile Coastal Plain.

Geology
Israel is located on the border of 3 tectonic plates. Furthermore, Israel is located on the Syrian African Rift, which causes tectonic movement. This activity gives rise to many earth quakes in the area, resulting in geological phenomena.

Population
The population in Israel is around 7.4 million citizens. This number is divided into the Jewish population, which is around 75.5%, the Arab population, around 20% and other religions which are around 4%.
The most crowded area is in the central district and the Tel Aviv area. The least crowded area is the Negev.
