Border areas - Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon

From strategic viewpoints we will “peek across the fence”, reviewing previous conflict zones, understanding current challenges, and forecasting possible scenarios for future conflict. We will witness firsthand the intersection of issues such as topography, population, and national infrastructure, and explore their impact in the development of Israeli strategic depth and national security doctrine.

Battle sites - 1948 War of Independence, 1967 Six Day War, 1973 Yom Kippur War

Our security tour guides will focus on both tactical and strategic battles that took place in Negev desert, Jerusalem, the Galilee, and the Golan Heights.

SECURITY BARRIER AND COUNTER TERRORISM MODELS

The Second Intifada resulted in thousands of casualties. In response, the Israeli Ministry of Defense erected a security barrier designed to prevent the transportation of both men and materiel from areas of Palestinian control into Israel. From a security standpoint, the barrier has been a success. Our guides will explore with you areas of the barrier from both sides of the fence, from the Gilboa mountain range in the north, and all the way to the northern Negev desert in the South.

Totally thrilling experience. I don’t think we every truly understood the beauty and complexities of Israel until our tour with Jordan. He had a incredible knack for linking thousands of years of history to the present day in fascinating, thought provoking, and understandable ways. And he’s a lot of fun to be with!

My wife and I went to Israel for the first time after thinking about it for several years. From our first contact with Jordan, we knew this was going to be a well thought out journey. He inquired into our lodging desires, favorite types of foods, points of interest we desired to see and even types of shopping we wanted to experience!

We chose the full 10 day treatment. Jordan escorted us from the airport to our lodging. As we acclimated to the time change, we spent time locally in Jerusalem and in the Old City. The restaurants that were recommended never ceased to amaze! I never associated Israel with good food, but everything was fresh and delicious.

We travelled throughout the country, examining the borders with Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. We went to museums, historical sites, Biblical sites and the desert. With Jordan as our guide, we always felt safe and never felt taken advantage of by those who make a living from tourists. Israel is a fascinating country and our experience was magnified by the quality of the pre-planning and service we experienced on our journey.

I highly recommend Israel Security Tours.

To appreciate the fullness and complexity of Israel, one should take religious tours, nature tours, hi-tech tours, and certainly a national security tour. At the Golan tank battle sites, Lieutenant Colonel Jordan Herzberg explains how close Israel came to losing the Yom Kippur War right … there, and he evokes the scene as two brigades staved off a national disaster. How might Hezbollah try to severely damage Israel in the future? Anyone can visit the northern border, but it takes a true security expert like Lieutenant Colonel Herzberg to explain the missile threats to national infrastructure and Israeli countermeasures. After this tour, you will appreciate Israel and her national security all the more. And after Lieutenant Colonel Herzberg shares his insights, your Middle East conversations back home will be richer and your arguments more convincing.
