There are also many Israeli Arab towns and villages.
Why is the sea of Galilee below sea level?
If the surface of the Sea of Galilee were at sea level, then its upper 696 feet (212 meters) would have no solid shore to maintain its shape, and it would pour out over the surrounding countryside (which is also below sea level). Since its maximum depth is only 143 feet (41 meters) to begin with, such an event, if it were to take place, would empty the lake utterly and completely, leaving only a hole in the ground.
Obviously, then, it is only by virtue of its unusually low elevation that the Sea even exists. It is the lowest body of fresh water on Earth.
Answer:
The sea of Galilee is below sea level because it lies in a deep area of the Jordan valley. In rainy years it is not allowed to rise very much, so as not to flood towns along its coastline. Rather, water is sluiced into the lower Jordan river and the Dead Sea, via the Degania Dam.
What is Galilee called in present day?

Spiral corals, often referred to as spiral or helicoid corals, exhibit a distinctive spiral shape characterized by tightly coiled, cylindrical structures. Their skeletons can appear as intricate, winding patterns, typically showcasing a range of colors, including shades of white, brown, and green. These corals often have small polyps that extend from the spiral formations, contributing to their unique aesthetic and the overall health of the coral reef ecosystem. The spiral shape aids in maximizing surface area for feeding and gaining sunlight.
