		Modi'in lies in the rolling, rocky foothills of the Judean Mountains, about halfway between the coastal plain to the west and the mountainous Jerusalem region to the east.
		Travelling along the highway from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the hills of the Modi'in area are the first hills which offer a panoramic view of the Israeli coastline.
		This, in combination with Modi'in's commanding position over one of the main mountain roads to Jerusalem, may be the source of the name Modi'in (sometimes written Modi'im), which in Hebrew means "informers" (or, in modern Hebrew, "information").

	Rabin's "Allon Plan" (Yedidya Atlas and Mark Langfan)
		The eastern half of the region begins at the Jordan River and rises steeply westward to the mountain ridges of Judea and Samaria - an area that has a relatively sparse Arab population.
		After this is accomplished, the plan calls for massive Jewish settlement in the eastern half of the Judean and Samarian mountains and in Gaza.
		In Allon's memorandum to the cabinet in 1967, he considered permanent Israeli sovereignty over Gaza and the eastern half of Israel's heartland to be essential to our security: Gaza, because of its key strategic location and historic use as a southern invasion route, and the eastern half of Judea and Samaria for similar reasons.

	NATIV - Mar. 2003 - The Shaping of Jerusalem’s Landscape
		Menashe Har-El The Jewish people living in Eretz Israel were the first in the history of this land and in the ancient Near East to determine the shape and use of the mountainous and desert landscapes and embark on an intensive settlement in these regions.
		This accomplishment, on an international scale, brought about construction in the heart of the Judean mountains and in Jerusalem, the capital city, the Temple of worship, and an array of fortifications, all being the most magnificent in the ancient world.
		Since the mountainous and desert regions took up almost two thirds of the land area, the Israelites developed ingenious and pioneering technologies that were handed down to other nations:

		We occasionally have a "hamsin" or "sharav" which is a hot southeast wind that comes in from the desert, which sends the temperatures over 100 and brings in dust and haze.
		The scenery rapidly changed from mountains covered in ancient terraces to shephelah lowlands, to coastal sands, and then the fertile farming country of the Jezreel Valley and Galilee area.

		The mountains round about Jerusalem are higher yet than the elevations of the city.

	INS Scholarship 1998: Jaffa, 1799
		By recognizing the necessity of capturing Jaffa first, Napoleon was doubtlessly motivated also by the fear that the British, with their absolute mastery of the sea after their victory at Abukir, would seize the opportunity to land Turkish forces at this port and cut his communications with the Egyptian bases.
		Moreover, Napoleon was loath to be entangled in fighting in the Judean mountains.
		The latter had remained in the town of Ramla, occupied the day before, whence Reynier observed the Judean piedmont, to the east of the plains.
