Israel is a small, narrow country—only 68 miles at its widest stretch—that lies at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. The country's landscape includes mountains, fertile plains, and deserts. The Jordan, the longest of the region's few rivers, flows into the Dead Sea on Israel's eastern border. At 1,312 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest place (and the saltiest water) on earth. Over time ruled by a series of invaders—Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks, British—Israel proclaimed independence in 1948.
