Israel, Tel Azekah (Hebrew Narration)

Tel Azekah is located in the heart of Shephelah, some 45km from Tel Aviv and 30km from Jerusalem.  Sitting high above sea level, Tel Azekah has played a central role in the ancient history of the region and was once the control point of a strategic junction of roads. These roads travelled in all directions and led from the Mediterranean coast to the west, through to the Judean Hills in the east, and connected Beth-Shemesh in the north through to Lachish in the south. For millennia Azekah flourished and grew, as its community benefited from Azekah’s rich natural and strategic location.Israel,
