During the last two conflicts both with Hamas and Hezbollah, the Israeli military defended itself excellently, and set down both conflicts rapidly. To their credit Israel has an incredibly strong military, enough to overpower Hamas, Hezbollah as well as an attack from Syria same time, that's interesting if Hamas and Hezbollah both attack concurrently and there is any type of conflict between Iran or Syria they could be attacked from all concurrently.

Attire - Visiting the Dead Sea is just not like going to a normal beach, and you definitely do not want to put on your nicest swimsuit for that trip. Plan on wearing an adult suit you don't really care about; the salts and minerals in water are hard on swimwear and will damage some swimsuits. Also anticipate wearing sandals as the beach is rocky and incredibly hot during the summer months. You wont need to hurt the feet!
