I think it is new that Google provides maps in Israel.
So here is
Modiin,
the city where I live. As you can see most of it is about 2cm to the left from the
1949 Armistice Agreements Line
while one neighbourhood (formerly a separate community called
Maccabim is on No Man's Land.
The other side is what Jordan occupied in the 1948-49 war.
Today that is called the West Bank
(not to be confused with the West Coast!)
also known in Biblical times as Judea and Samaria,
that Israel has taken from Jordan in 1967. Since then the
Palestinians want that to be
part of their country.
