Naftali Mountains
33°13′N 35°32′E / 33.21°N 35.54°E
Naftali Mountains (Hebrew: הרי נפתלי) is a mountain range between Lebanon and Upper Galilee, Israel. The western side gradually changes into the highlands of southern Lebanon. The eastern side sharply descends into the Hula Valley of Israel.[1][2]
They are a part of the watershed between the basins of the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.[1]
The area was the place of heavy fighting in 1948 during the Israel War of Independence.[1][3]
Israeli populated places in the mountains (from north to south) are: Misgav Am, Margaliot, Manara, Ramot Naftali, Malkia, Avivim and Dishon.
