Where is Israel?
Israel is located in the Middle East, on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It's bordered by Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, Egypt to the southwest and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively. Despite its relatively small size, Israel encompasses a variety of geographic features, from the Negev desert in the south, the fertile plains along its Mediterranean coastline, to the hills and mountains in the North.
