I was in Israel last year for six-months, stationed with the MFO on the Egypt/Israeli border. As I have cousins (ben dodeem) in Netanya I was able to visit nearly every weekend. Contrary to mainstream media, Israel is safe. Their is more violence, and fear of violence in California (LA), NYC, Miami, Chicago, Philidelphia and every other major metropolitan US city than in Israel.
I am sure the local geocachers have placed their caches in safe areas. Bring your GPS and travel the countryside. I've been all over the Negev, Be'er Sheva, Tel Aviv, Herziliya, and Netanya. Go and enjoy!
