Abstract

Three Minutes From War. Israeli Border Village
Wakefield, Dan | April 7, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

One of nineteen villages spread across the narrow midsection of Israel is known as Lachish, running from the city of Ashkelon, a few miles north of the Gaza Strip, to the Jordan border twenty-five miles to the west. Six months ago this area was empty and open to the type of military movement that cut the country in half during one stage of Israel's War of Independence. The barren Lachish land, dry and lined with crumbling remains of stone terraces centuries old, was envisioned as a region of modern, cooperative faint settlements, complete with schools, stores and a central town with industrial and entertainment facilities.
