I toured Israel training Krav Maga a few times...Masada is worth a visit, big ancient hilltop fortress...the IDF patrol the streets in all major towns/cities and the female soldiers look amazing...! Every one in beautiful, well, nearly every one! There’s obviously all the religious sites which look fairly impressive.

They are a hardy bunch of people and take no shit basically...as they kept saying, we’re surrounded by countries that want to wipe us off the face of the earth. It’s a bit sad because they also explained most of the countries finances go towards defence which does leave a fair level of hardship/poverty.

Entering/leaving is a bit of a hassle, they open everyone’s case and inspect literally everything. I had a hard time explain resistance bands to them..!
