 video here in Majl Shams. We are at the border with the DMZ. This is the border fence here and the demarcation here is actually with the UN line Alpha. Alpha is the line on the Israeli side of the DMZ and these houses are actually technically in the DMZ. See the little village houses here and I'll show you. You can see right up in the distance you can see the Syrian flag flying. See right next to the lamppost. I'm not sure that's a border crossing or if that's just a house but that's a disengagement zone patrolled by Undaft, UN Disengagement Observement. Observement or Observing Force I'm not quite sure. Line Bravo's on the other side and this is like most Israeli borders. Quite typically you have a fence, you have a patrol road and then there is a that's an army only roads running along the border and then you've got little fence which is as far as civilians can go and it just skirts all the way the town of Majl Shams continuing up to the mountainous, very mountainous terrain so these houses in the foreground are all Majl Shams and I'll just do a little Sivuv as they say in Hebrew here and this we're just driving along a road that goes right next to the border and yeah that's the DMZ. This is Israel and a tiny bit beyond is Syria. Here we are border sightseeing trip stop number two. This is, we are in Matula and right up here next to the border fence on Google Maps for a bite. Under meters from the border this is as far as road of Masool Extents. You can see a border fence there in the background. It says no further entry close military zone so we're not gonna push our luck too much but those are you can see houses in Lebanon on the other side of the fence. You can actually see we just saw a bunch of cars going through Lebanon and it looks like there is a there's a town right across. You can actually see if I can just find it. You can actually see we're so close you can see individual I think that's a poster of Nasrallah perhaps right there in the center and we're so close you can see we just saw some people on motorbikes you can see there's a truck this is on the Lebanese side you can see a truck see a couple of cars moving there in the distance so this is already over on the Lebanese side of the fence so quite interesting. We're in Matula here and as I said you can see cars moving across there on the Lebanese side of the border. This is Israel border dayspotting number two a couple of interesting things to observe here one as we have we can see a blue line marker that's the UN blue line just across there the border is about a hundred meters there we can see a car there's a Hizballah flag there's a car moving in the direction just by you see the yellow Hizballah flag there what right up there border spotting to up close and personal with the Lebanese border this is the border of Israel and Lebanon we are in Kibbutz Matula the northern northern most point in Israel this is a typical border of Israel like the one before exactly like the one with Syria there is a fence here there's a little patrol road for the army and literally five meters in front of us we have the border international border with Lebanon as I showed in the previous video you can actually see blue line markings from the UN just in this open area across the way and you can see in the distance here fields that are actually inside Lebanon already and cars moving across so the border literally is just on the outside of this of this Kibbutz slightly further up the rose more exciting border spotting with Lebanon again the Hizballah flag clearly visible the yellow flag up in the very start of southern Lebanon beneath us here this is again in Kibbutz Matula beneath us here is Nakhal Iyon I hope I'm saying that right which is a nature reserve you can get into it's currently supposed to be closed where we are here you can see again two blue line markers of the UN here is one here in the center you can just see about another hundred meters to the right there is another one visible they're a bit kind of sunworn because it's so hot up here but that's a blue line marker and you can see where the there's early border fences the fence actually gets less prominent in this part of the border and it's just these kind of just little electric fence and it actually is follows pretty much the blue line is exactly in the middle of where Israel has put up its border fence this line is typically how you know you're approaching a border in Israel you have written in Hebrew Kabbalah Arabic and English as saying frontier ahead so we're just here to the old Geshir point which is off Route 90 running between the north of Israel running down to the Dead Sea and there is a little place you can see the border over here and where we are exactly here is it's called the old Geshir which means the old bridge and it's just off route 90 route 90 runs from north of Israel right down to Dead Sea and on Google Maps we could see that the border was right here so we drove in it's like this old kind of kibbutz thing and so this is the border with Jordan the hash hash might kingdom of Jordan and you can see there's a sign here saying she talks by which in Hebrew that's just if I can it's about 40 degrees here currently so that says close military zone and you can see the border fence running right in front of us here with Jordan and as it says border area unsupervised entry forbidden in Hebrew and the big mystery is why exactly there is a Chinese sign and this runs right here so the Jordan River is somewhere behind us and you can actually see if we look in the distance you can see an old looks like an abandoned crossing point and right there in the distance over the number of the fence you can see what looks to me I'm presumably it's Jordanian army watch tower if you see the tall building there just up on the crest of the hill that's already on the Jordanian side of the border and as I said this skirt Jordanian border typically has a fence like this this is a typical pretty typical Israeli border fence and it runs all the way through up and down the length of this for part of it the border is the river the Jordan River itself is the border and from what I've seen in cases like that the there's generally a fence on both sides there's little buffer zone some there's some pilgrimage sites on the Israeli side of the border so you can get through those sometimes but then on the Jordanian side there's a fence as well so that the border is there is some kind of physical demarcation preserving the border between Israel and Jordan okay this is again the border between Israel and Jordan by the Geshe Hayashan the old bridge this is as you can see as far as civilians can go on this patrol road it says which means military area and that sort of an echo which means stop there's a border in front of you this is the border fence itself there is a sign saying that it's an electrified fence and this is what the old bridge is named after here if you see here this bridge that's running over the Jordan River as far as I know and as I said before you can see a couple of army watch towers at 12 o'clock here I believe that's an IDF watch tower the border runs directly across the river civilians are blocked about 20 meters before the border itself and there's a Jordanian army watch tower on the Jordanian side of the border about 20 to 30 meters across and that is Jordan basically where that watch tower is and across the other side of the river there final stop on the border tour we're not just here actually we're here to see the site it's a Christian pilgrim site called Kusar il Yahud and you can see there's a sign here saying Kavula Fenecha border before you and this is the real thing because in the previous video and most of the videos in general the borders of Israel are the fence is placed before the border itself and there's kind of a no man's land Israel concedes about 50 meters to 100 meters of territory sometimes more and that's declared a closed military zone and nothing really happens in there so we're actually past that there is that fence and this little pilgrim site is beyond the fence and this is really I mean the border is declared as the Jordan River which is right in front of me here and this is Jordan this building's in Jordan this is the Jordanian side of the pilgrim site kind of interesting it's always fascinating to see how when the border is a river or a sea how people demarcate borders and you can see what the approach they've gone for here is to put a line of buoys so I can't I could stick my hand into Jordan if I was if I brought swimming a swimsuit with me and they put my leg out but I unfortunately did not do that but this is Jordan and you can see the Jordanian flag hanging here and the guy who was guiding some people on the pilgrimage said that sometimes you can actually see Jordanian soldiers sitting across here and this is a popular pilgrim site you can actually see if I just go over here this you can see the river Jordan and of course as I said the border stretches along the river and it's usually actually closed off but this is a site so they've made it accessible on both sides
