War voyeurs: pelancong Israel
menonton pertempuran Syria dari jarak yang selamat
Berbekalkan teropong dan kamera, pelancong
di Israel lebih tertarik ke Bukit Golan dengan harapan melihat konflik berdarah

ini dan usia, menyaksikan ikan paus nampaknya hanyalah tidak potong mana-mana
lagi.
Ia jauh lebih menghiburkan untuk menonton
bom jiran-jiran anda dan menembak daylights yang tinggal di antara satu sama
lain - dari jarak selamat, berkata, Golan Heights. , Nampaknya, ini adalah
kegilaan terbaru di kalangan Israel, yang berduyun-duyun ke mata pandang
berhampiran sempadan dengan Syria di negara ini untuk memerhatikan pertempuran
berterusan, mengikut Times Israel.
Berbekalkan teropong dan kamera,
berduyun-duyun pelancong Israel dan lain-lain telah dilihat menuju ke Bukit
Golan. Peminat tindakan Live berharap untuk melihat kelibat pertempuran ganas,

Armed with binoculars and cameras, tourists
in Israel are flocking to the Golan Heights in the hope of seeing the bloody
conflict in neighboring Syria, sparking a trend among tour operators. In this
day and age, whale watching apparently just doesn’t cut it any longer.
It’s far more entertaining to watch your
neighbors bomb and shoot the living daylights out of each other - from the safe
distance of, say, the Golan Heights.
This is, apparently, the latest craze among Israelis, who flock to vantage
points near the country’s border with Syria to observe the ongoing clashes,
according to the Times of Israel.
Armed
with binoculars and cameras, throngs of Israeli and other tourists have been
seen heading to Golan Heights. Live action enthusiasts were hoping to catch a
glimpse of the savage fighting, which have been steadily increasing in the
17-month Syrian conflict.

they watch from the hill village of Buqaata in the Golan Heights the smoke
rising from the nearby Syrian village of Jebata al-Khashab (Para keluarga

jarak, nampaknya, adalah terlalu besar untuk mendapatkan penjelasanskop
pembunuhan beramai-ramai, jadi para penonton terpaksa berpuas hati dengan bunyi
tembakan dan letupan.
Trend secara tidak sengaja dimulakan oleh
Menteri Pertahanan Israel, Ehud Barak, yang melawat Bukit Golan untuk menilai
tahap bahaya kepada Israel IDF dari konflik yang berlaku di Syria. Imej siaran
menteri di TV seolah-olah telah mencetuskan tindak balas yang tidak dijangka di
kalangan kedua-dua Israel dan pelawat yang datang ke negara ini.
Malah, seri konflik adalah begitu besar
bahawa pengusaha pelancongan dilaporkan memikirkan meletakkan konflik-memerhati
Syria pada senarai jadual perjalanan disediakan. Mereka yang paling prihatin
tentang situasi muncul sebagai pasukan keselamatan Israel, yang mengatakan yang
mereka lakukan yang terbaik untuk menyimpan perang-pemerhati jauh daripada
pemasangan tentera sensitif di sepanjang sempadan Israel-Syria.

distance, apparently, is far too great to get a full scope of the carnage, so
the spectators have to be content with the sounds of gunfire and explosions.
The trend was unwittingly started by
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who visited the Golan Heights to assess
the level of danger to Israel’s IDF from the conflict in Syria. Images of the
minister broadcast on TV seem to have triggered an unexpected reaction among
both Israelis and visitors to the country.
