Jerusalem hills, Mountain range northwest of Jerusalem, Israel
The Jerusalem Hills consist of limestone formations rising to heights of 900 meters, extending from the coastal plains to the Judean Desert.
The mountains provided strategic positions for defense during ancient times, serving as natural fortifications for settlements dating back to 930 BCE.
The Jerusalem Hills contain numerous agricultural terraces where families maintain traditional olive groves and vineyards passed down through generations.
The Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Highway 1 crosses through these mountains, connecting the two major cities through a series of tunnels and bridges.
The hills receive winter snowfall at elevations above 700 meters, creating a rare Mediterranean mountain climate within the region.
