Israel-Day1-Tel Aviv


Flying over the Mediterranean into Tel Aviv!


Ben Gurion Airport. Ben Gurion declared Israel reborn on 5/14/48 and they were bombed within 5 hours by 8 armies. Tel Aviv is only 100 years old. The Jews bought it from the Bedouins and it was settled by 60 families. It was nothing but sand dunes so everyone was required to haul out 100 wheelbarrow loads per day.
