Safsaf massacre
The Safsaf massacre occurred on October 29, 1948, when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) captured the Palestinian Arab village of Safsaf in the Galilee. The village was defended by the Arab Liberation Army's Second Yarmuk Battalion. Safsaf was the first village to fall in Operation Hiram, the aim of which, according to the IDF, was to "destroy the enemy in the central Galilee 'pocket,' to take control of the whole of the Galilee and to establish a defense line on the country's northern border.
Dishon
Dishon is a moshav in northern Israel, located along the border with Lebanon, between the towns of Kiryat Shmona and Safed. It is part of the Mevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council. Dishon was established in 1953 by Jewish immigrants from Libya, and named after a nearby depopulated Palestinian village, Dayshum. The information in Tobit 1.2 suggests that it is Tishbe, the hometown of Elijah, as well as of Tobit himself.
Avivim
Avivim, is an Israeli moshav (pop. 500) in the far north of Israel, in the Upper Galilee. It is located less than one kilometre (3,000 feet) from the Lebanese border, and on the land of the depopulated Shiite village of Salha. The moshav was founded in 1958, but was abandoned soon afterward. It was re-established in 1963 with immigrants from North Africa, mostly Moroccan Jews. The moshav's proximity to the Lebanese border has made it a target for terrorist attacks.
Kerem Ben Zimra
Kerem Ben Zimra is a moshav near Safed in the Upper Galilee in northern Israel. It belongs to the Merom HaGalil Regional Council. The Arab village Al-Ras al-Ahmar on the site was depopulated in 1948. The moshav was founded in 1949 by immigrants to Israel from Turkey, to whom immigrants were added from Romania and Morocco. Rabbi Meir Yehuda Getz (1924–1995), a kabbalist and the first rabbi of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, was among the founders of the moshav.
Dalton Winery
The Dalton Winery was founded in 1995 by members of the Haruni family who moved to Israel from England. The chief winemaker is Na'ama Sorkin, who has been with Dalton since 2002. The winery releases wines under several labels, and beginning with the 2006 vintage the winery released wines under the Matatia label, destined to become the company's flagship brand, with wines released only in select vintage years as judged by the winemakers. Current production is about 850,000 bottles annually.
