| Israeli paragliders take off towards the Sea of Galilee to catch the thermals rising off the biblical lake during the Holy Wind festival on August 28, 2008 from the Mevo Hama cliffs on the Golan Heights. The biblical lake is Israel's most important water reservoir, fed by the Jordan River from the north and by the many streams that carry snow melt and rain water from the strategic Golan Heights. Jerusalem may soon find itself surrendering the volcanic plateau with Syria demanding a full Israeli withdrawal from the Golan in return for a comprehensive peace.
