|Literally, '''הרמגדון''' (Har-mageddon), or the Valley of Megiddo. [[Napoleon Bonaparte]], on surveying this valley during his travels in the [[Middle East]], is rumored to have exclaimed that this would be a wonderful place to have a battle. It is a wide-open space with room to assemble an army larger than has ever before been assembled for a single battle. In fact, many other battles, often decisive battles in [[Egypt]]ian and [[Israel]]ite history, have been fought on this site.

The British, in the days of Mandatory [[Palestine]], built Ramat-David Air Force Base in this valley. Today that base is the largest and most important base of the Israeli Air Forces.
