Israel

There are 2 types of "Special Forces" units in the Israeli Defence Forces;

1. "Palsar" - reconnaissance and raiding companies integral to Brigades of the Army: eg Para, Golani, Givati, Nahal etc.. Their missions are essentially tactical in support of their parent brigade's operations - eg route reconnaissance, clearing and surveillance; diversionary raids, prisoner snatches, special demolition tasks etc..

2. "Sayeret" - autonomous companies (or battalions) of troops of strategic purpose who operate under the direction of higher command authorities, including the Office of the Prime Minister/ Cabinet. Their operations are covert; usually at long range, frequently outside the borders of Israel, and generally geared to achieving "strategic" effects - eg location and destruction of enemy assets such as nuclear facilities, major bases, ports, major headquarters etc, or external hostage rescue/ counter terrorism ops, or "kill or capture" of key enemy personnel.

"Sayert Matkal" is the General Staff Reconnaissance Unit, about a battalion size, subordinate to the Chiefs of Staff and Military Intelligence Directorate. Israeli equivalent of the British SAS or US Combat Applications Group (aka "Delta Force"). Focuses on strategic reconnaissance and raiding; counter terrorism and hostage rescue abroad etc..

"Sayeret Maglan" is a LRRP unit (large company size) specialising in deep penetration reconnaissance and raiding focusing on locating and neutralising particularly threatening enemy weapons and other systems - eg missile sites/ silos, advanced air defence systems, NBC facilities etc..

"Sayeret Shaldag" are Air Force commandos specialising in target location, forward air control/ target destruction outside Israel's borders.

"Shayetet 13" are the Naval commandos - Israeli equivalent of US Navy SEALS and British SBS.

There are also a number of other highly specialised covert units (some military, others part of the Police or Border Police) that conduct special tasks in the Occupied Territories or along border areas with Syria and Lebanon.

It is important in history today because there were many happenings there. All the Crusades were to capture Jerusalem back from the Muslims and to spread Christianity.

Jerusalem certainly has holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions and adherents of those religions living within its walls, but depending on how "home" is defined, this may or may not qualify. The leadership of all Christian Churches and all Islamic Mosques in Jerusalem are governed by councils operating outside of Jerusalem, so the homes of those religions can be as far away as Rome, Addis Ababa, or Mecca. Based on that, only Judaism has its home and central apparatus in Jerusalem. Other religions have a presence and wonderful sites, but not a home, even if the people of those religions have made Jerusalem their home.

The first Arab country to recognize Israel as a state.

Under King Hussein of Jordan, a treaty was signed with Israel, which begins trade and diplomatic ties. Therefore, making Jordan the second state to recognize Israel, following the first, which was Egypt.

The area comprised of Israel and the Palestinian territories has seen a very long time line of conflict which is considered by most as "non-stop". Even when there is no news of injuries or deaths for a few weeks, there are usually other elements of conflict - like training or planning for operations on either side.

Fighting is always going on everywhere around the world, between Muslims, Christians, Jews, atheists and everyone else. For more info on what's happening there see the Related Links.

You must be referring to the November 1947 UN resolution to partition part of the

lands of the Middle East that the British were about to vacate, with one portion to

be administered by the local Arab authorities, and the other part by the local Jewish

authorities. That resolution passed in the UN General Assembly by a majority vote of

the UN members at that time. The list of countries can be found on line. It was not a

vote "for Israel to become a country". The leaders of Israel did that, six months later,

as soon the administration of the Jewish partition passed to them from the British.

because of a lot of salt is in it

The dead sea has no outlet. Water flows into it but not out. The area where the dead sea is is an arid zone so rainfall is low. Water evaporates from the dead sea but because there is not much water flowing into it the dead sea becomes concentrated with mineral salts and that makes it dense.

=============================================

Another contributor attempted to clarify:

On land set aside by a majority vote in the UN General Assembly, the residents of

that land declared it a sovereign nation in May, 1948, and named it Israel. It was

immediately attacked by the combined military forces of several of its neighbors,

lost a significant portion of the original area, but survived the attack. It was soon

admitted as a member of the United Nations, and now is recognized by, and has

mutual diplomatic relations with, all but about 30 other countries in the world.

The UN General Assembly also set aside adjacent land for administration by the

primarily Arab residents of that area. That portion was not declared a distinct

nation, and was absorbed into the Kingdom of Jordan.

During the 1967 war, Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the Golan

Heights from Syria, and the West Bank of the Jordan River from Jordan. When

Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel, the Sinai ... minus the Gaza Strip ...

was returned to Egyptian sovereignty. Israel unilaterally disengaged from Gaza,

withdrawing its military and removing its settlers, in 2005, leaving it to the rule

of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which was soon driven out by Hamas.

Neither the Golan nor the West Bank has been returned to Syria or Jordan yet,

as those nations have not acknowledged Israel's right to exist, and certain of

their nationals maintain the pesky habit of rocketing and mortaring Israel whenever

they can get close enough.

In conclusion, we would ask that contributors who feel this information to be

erroneous should post corrections to its facts, but should not delete it simply

because they disagree with its perceived tone or intent.

Solomon from 970 BCE to 930 BCE. Then the kingdom split into Israel and Judah each with a king. In Israel, Jeroboam I ruled. In Judah, Rehoboam ruled.

1) Powerful neighbors of whom they have to be wary. Jordan is just as concerned with the goings-on in Egypt, Syria and Iran as Israel is.

2) A desire for quiet. Jordan made a peace treaty with Israel and had occasionally held clandestine high-level meetings with her even before that.

3) A shared border.

4) A perennial concern with water resources. Jordan, and much of Israel, is semi-arid to arid.

5) Numerous ancient ruins which draw huge numbers of tourists.

6) Difficult history with the Palestinian Arabs.

7) Arabic as an official language.

8) A secular government.

9) Strong relations with the United States and other Western countries.

The first king was Saul.

The Tar-21 and the Desert Eagle and I think the Mini Uzi, but I'm not a hundred percent on that. #swagg

November 2, 1917. So there's your answer, I hope you like it. Check on blafourproject for more information about it. They also have books about it. So check it out.

Yes, Israel was a country in Biblical times and had many kings. Not all of the territory was controlled by Israel until the time of David. For a time, there was a divided kingdom of Israel consisting of the northern and southern kingdoms.

Yes.

However, it should be noted that while Jordan occupied the West Bank from 1949-1967, it had no legitimate rights to that land. Less than five nations recognized the validity of the Jordanian occupation. Therefore the "its" in the question is inaccurate. Jordan lost "the" West Bank, but not "its" West Bank.
