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.
