Megiddo is a town and area in Israel, whose name is linked to the Biblical Book of Revelations concept of the ultimate battle at Armageddon. There is a significant archeological site with evidence of past battles,[1] designated by UNESCO as a World Historic Site.[2]
Current battle, however, goes on between the regional authorities and tourist developers, the latter wanting to build a second international airport for Israel. [3] It would be based on a decommissioned air force base. [4]
