The discovery of tombs in Israel’s Negev Desert filled with female remains and a curious assortment of artifacts from around the Red Sea and Mediterranean region could be proof of ancient trade networks of sacred prostitutes being taken to Arabia 2,500 years ago.

Abraham lived at Beersheba & this would have been one of his water sources the underground cistern built by the Canaanites. There is another well outside of the city. It is known as Abraham’s’ Well because he and his descendants used it.

Flooding in Israel: A Winter Challenge 🌧️🌊

Today, I want to talk about a lesser-known aspect of Israel's winter - the surprising and often challenging floods. In a land more commonly associated with deserts and dry climates, winter floods are a stark contrast, bringing both awe and hardship 🌧️🇮🇱

Winter in Israel, especially from December to March, can be unexpectedly wet. This is particularly true in areas like the Negev Desert, where the arid landscape isn't equipped to handle sudden heavy rains. The result? Flash floods that can transform dry riverbeds, known as wadis, into raging torrents in minutes 🏜️💦

These floods, while fascinating in their power, pose significant risks. They can sweep away cars and even cause fatalities, especially among those unprepared for such sudden changes. The Israeli authorities often issue warnings, urging people to stay away from flood-prone areas during heavy rains 🚨🚫

Despite the dangers, these floods also bring a unique beauty. The arid regions burst into life, with flowers and greenery emerging in the once dry landscapes. For photographers and nature lovers, this transformation is a spectacular sight 📸🌼

The video is from Mamshit Stream /'na-'khal ma-ma-'sheet/ נַחַל מַמָּשִׁית a seasonal stream located in the Negev Highland area, one of the northernmost streams there. The stream is situated about five kilometers from the city of Dimona. Mamshit Stream is a nature reserve and is named after the nearby ancient city of Mamshit.

In urban areas like Tel Aviv, heavy rains can overwhelm drainage systems, leading to urban flooding. This not only disrupts daily life but also raises concerns about infrastructure and city planning in the face of changing climate patterns 🏙️💧

As we face these wet winters, let's remember the importance of being prepared and respecting nature's power. While the floods are a testament to the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of Israel, they also remind us of our responsibility to understand and adapt to our environment 🌦️🌈

Stay safe and embrace the beauty and challenges of Israel's winter season! 💙🤍

While today people are mostly thinking about the area traditionally known as "the Holy Land" in terms of Jews and Palestinians, there once were other significant people living there, leaving their marks of the lands.

One of those people was the Nabataeans, an Arab people known for being in control of the incense route and particularly to have been the people building the amazing desert city Petra.

Another fascinating city they built, in the middle of the desert in Negev, is Ovdat. I'm working on a project about this amazing place and I'd like to invite you to take a look at it and get to understand it better. This is a crucial part of the history of this place, which helps us to better understand the evolution of how things became as they are today eventually, even if it happened 2000 years ago!

Israel shines bright like a diamond: Italian Astronaut Samantha Christopher took a stunning picture of Israel's solar power tower in the Negev desert, writing: "A bright light in the Negev. So unique to see lights made by humankind. It's one of the tallest solar energy towers in the world."

Beautiful!

JNS reports:

Israel’s Cabinet voted on Sunday to establish a new community along the border with the Gaza Strip. The future town, to be named Hanun, will be located in the Sdot Negev Region and eventually be inhabited by some 500 families. “The establishment of the community is further evidence of the resilience of the [citizens living in the] ‘Gaza envelope’ and the power of the State of Israel. We’re proud to build up the Land of Israel and we’re proud to strengthen settlement in all parts of our land,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Hamas calls Israel building a community within the Green Line a "dangerous escalation" - and threatened it:

The Hamas movement confirmed that the continuation of the Zionist occupation government with its aggressive settlement policies in our land, the latest of which was its announcement today, Sunday, of building a settlement near the Gaza Strip, constitutes a dangerous escalation that will not bring the settlers security or stability, and will not grant the occupation legitimacy or sovereignty over our land. In a press statement, today, Sunday, Hamas stressed that the occupation government is solely responsible for its disregard for settling settlers near the Gaza Strip, and for putting them in danger, and it bears full responsibility for its settlement escalation throughout the occupied West Bank. The movement called on the international community to shoulder its responsibility in curbing those racist occupation policies that threaten peace and security in the region.

The English announcement stressed "colonialism" while the Arabic one (above) directly threatened the community.

Just more proof that it isn't the "occupation" that Palestinians are upset at - it is Israel's existence.

And this is a story that Western media still barely reports.

'C/2021 A1 (LEONARD) IN SKY OF ISRAEL'

by Alex Savenok

Alex Savenok’s photograph captures a comet in the skies above Israel’s Negev desert. The comet, C/2021 A1 (Leonard), made a close approach to Earth in 2021 and 2022, and captivated stargazers as it graced the night sky. Savenok’s shot of Comet Leonard shows it hanging above the rocky mountain terrain of the Negev, just as the sun sets. The faint glow of the stars in the background adds to the sense of awe and wonder, creating a truly breathtaking, peaceful, otherworldly scene,” Savenok said.
