View from atop the mound of Tel Megiddo, looking across the Jezreel Valley toward the direction of Nazareth. On a clear day it would have been clearly visible. The whole time we were on the mound, Israeli F-16 fighters were crossing over us, likely on readiness training. It reminded me of a T-shirt for sale everywhere here which has a graphic of planes, tanks, etc. and the caption of, "Don't worry America, Israel is standing with you."
