Naftali Mountains (Hebrew: הרי נפתלי) is a mountain range between Lebanon and Upper Galilee, Israel. The western side gradually changes into the highlands of southern Lebanon. The eastern side sharply descends into the Hula Valley of Israel.[1][2]
They are a part of the watershed between the basins of the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.[1]
The area was the place of heavy fighting in 1948 during the Israel War of Independence.[1][3]
