Our group will meet at Ben Gurion Airport at 9:30 a.m., then head north to understand the impact that the war has had on Northern Israel’s residents and soldiers. After a lunch stop in Caesarea and an opportunity to meet each other, we will travel to Kuneitra for an insider’s look at the IDF counterterrorism activity inside Syria. From there we will visit the Druze community of Majdal Shams, where 12 children were tragically killed by a Hezbollah missile. We will meet with representatives of the community. Late dinner at our hotel.
