Israeli environmentalists protest military's plan for road in important nature reserve
The army is planning to build a road for heavy vehicles in the Galilee’s Nahal Keziv nature reserve, one of many new roads it plans to build in preparation for future conflict with Hezbollah along the Lebanese border.
Local environmentalists and the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel have urged the army to consider alternative routes. They fear that the road through Keziv will badly damage the reserve, one of the most important in the Upper Galilee.
