One of the great vantage points in the Middle East is to stand high in the Golan and look down on what Israelis call Lake Kinneret, better known to some, of course, as the Sea of Galilee.
The strategic and military importance of these mountains sometimes overshadows the importance of the lake itself below.
It is fed by water running off the Golan and by the upper reaches of the River Jordan.
But because of excessive human activity and drought, water levels in the lake are now dangerously low.
