Beyond the research aspects, the project has didactic aspects as well. The project, consisting in a proposal for digital documentation of Masada cultural heritage sites, is directed by Stefano Bertocci, Sandro Parrinello and Rebeka Vital. Methodology This project is part of our research in the field of three-dimensional digital documentation and mapping of sites of cultural importance. A team of professors, research scholars and students works together to document the selected site through laser scanning. The equipment that was used is a Leica Scanstation C-10. The cloud of points that comes from the scanning, was compiled as raw data and was part of the documentation database. Further, the team is processed the cloud of points and extract information to make 2D as- built drawings (plans, sections and elevations), 3D renderings and 2D and 3D details of building elements of interest. The aims of these projects are: t To create a comprehensive digital documentation of the existing state of important sites. t To create an opportunity for collaborative work between Israeli and Italian academic institutions. 11 t To create learning opportunities for Israeli and Italian students in the latest advancements of architectural and archaeological documentation. t Such databases can serve as a base for further historic preservation and actual restoration done by companies or academic institutions. Masada Project The general aim of the project is to create a comprehensive digital documentation of the archaeological site of Masada. The data acquisition is done through laser scanning and photogrammetry. This methodology will give us a data base of accurate three-dimensional geometrical information in the form of a point cloud and extensive photographic imagery, which can be used to create textured three-dimensional geometry. Once all raw data is collected, 2D architectural drawings and 3D models of the site can be produced. The 3D models can represent the site “as-is” and can further serve as a basis for o digital reconstruction that can illustrate the state of our knowledge about the site, for different time periods. The didactic aspect of the project was in the form of a workshop. The workshop focused on digital documentation of historical sites and the use of 3D laser scanning in the research and analysis of built environments. During the workshop the participants were shown the methodology and strategies related to the acquisition and management of three-dimensional data from the site. Further, the possibilities of using acquired data for the construction of two-dimensional drawings and three-dimensional models were explained. The participants had the opportunity to use the site of Masada as a laboratory for applying all steps of the methodology: they were familiarized with the laser scanning equipment and the digital acquisition of three-dimensional data, they were acquainted with the laser scanning software used for the registration of the various laser scans acquired on-site and they took active part both in collecting the information on-site and in the post-processing the cloud of points and extracting architectural drawings. 12 Further, the workshop created an international collaborative framework for working with students, lecturers and professors from around the world. Within the framework of the signed collaboration between Shenkar College of Design and Engineering, the University of Florence and the University of Pavia, two workshops on digital documentation of cultural heritage sites have taken place: t Urban Archaeology in the Center of Florence – 3D laser scanning survey and 3D modeling, Florence, Italy; October 2012 t Masada International Workshop – How we document a heritage site digitally?

  • Israel in 1982: the War in Lebanon
    Israel in 1982: The War in Lebanon by RALPH MANDEL LS ISRAEL MOVED INTO its 36th year in 1982—the nation cele- brated 35 years of independence during the brief hiatus between the with- drawal from Sinai and the incursion into Lebanon—the country was deeply divided. Rocked by dissension over issues that in the past were the hallmark of unity, wracked by intensifying ethnic and religious-secular rifts, and through it all bedazzled by a bullish stock market that was at one and the same time fuel for and seeming haven from triple-digit inflation, Israelis found themselves living increasingly in a land of extremes, where the middle ground was often inhospitable when it was not totally inaccessible. Toward the end of the year, Amos Oz, one of Israel's leading novelists, set out on a journey in search of the true Israel and the genuine Israeli point of view. What he heard in his travels, as published in a series of articles in the daily Davar, seemed to confirm what many had sensed: Israel was deeply, perhaps irreconcilably, riven by two political philosophies, two attitudes toward Jewish historical destiny, two visions. "What will become of us all, I do not know," Oz wrote in concluding his article on the develop- ment town of Beit Shemesh in the Judean Hills, where the sons of the "Oriental" immigrants, now grown and prosperous, spewed out their loath- ing for the old Ashkenazi establishment. "If anyone has a solution, let him please step forward and spell it out—and the sooner the better.

  • The Israeli Experience in Lebanon, 1982-1985
    THE ISRAELI EXPERIENCE IN LEBANON, 1982-1985 Major George C. Solley Marine Corps Command and Staff College Marine Corps Development and Education Command Quantico, Virginia 10 May 1987 ABSTRACT Author: Solley, George C., Major, USMC Title: Israel's Lebanon War, 1982-1985 Date: 16 February 1987 On 6 June 1982, the armed forces of Israel invaded Lebanon in a campaign which, although initially perceived as limited in purpose, scope, and duration, would become the longest and most controversial military action in Israel's history. Operation Peace for Galilee was launched to meet five national strategy goals: (1) eliminate the PLO threat to Israel's northern border; (2) destroy the PLO infrastructure in Lebanon; (3) remove Syrian military presence in the Bekaa Valley and reduce its influence in Lebanon; (4) create a stable Lebanese government; and (5) therefore strengthen Israel's position in the West Bank. This study examines Israel's experience in Lebanon from the growth of a significant PLO threat during the 1970's to the present, concentrating on the events from the initial Israeli invasion in June 1982 to the completion of the withdrawal in June 1985. In doing so, the study pays particular attention to three aspects of the war: military operations, strategic goals, and overall results. The examination of the Lebanon War lends itself to division into three parts. Part One recounts the background necessary for an understanding of the war's context -- the growth of PLO power in Lebanon, the internal power struggle in Lebanon during the long and continuing civil war, and Israeli involvement in Lebanon prior to 1982.

  • “Just War” Case Study: Israeli Invasion of Lebanon
    “Just War” Case Study: Israeli Invasion Of Lebanon CSC 2002 Subject Area History EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Title: “JUST WAR” CASE STUDY: ISRAELI INVASION OF LEBANON. Author: Major Christopher A. Arantz, U.S. Marine Corps Thesis: This essay examines Israel’s overall reasons for invasion of southern Lebanon, and compares them to just war theory’s war-decision law and war-conduct law. This examination will establish that Israel achieved her objectives before war termination, which lead to some unjust actions. Discussion: Between 1948 and 1982 Israel had engaged in conventional combat four times against Arab coalition forces. In all cases, Israel fought for survival of its state and established a military dominance in the region. In the years leading up to 1982, the Israeli government sought ways to eliminate security problems in its occupied territory and across its border with southern Lebanon. Israel defined its security problems as terrorist excursions that threatened the security of its people and property in northern Israel. This paper will examine Israeli conduct of deciding to go to war and their conduct of war in relation to just war theory. Three areas will be examined; 1) Did Israel have a just cause, use a legitimate authority and the right intention for invading Lebanon as in accordance with Jus ad Bellum? 2) Did Israel conduct the conflict in accordance with Jus in Bello? 3) What are the long-term ramifications for the region since the invasion? Conclusion: 1. War does not have to be just, but it clearly helps the overall outcome when world opinion believes a war is being conducted for just reasons, and clearly outlined.
