Take the following as truth: This is actually a huge crater (makhtesh in Hebrew), said to be the largest of its kind in the world, measuring 40 km (24 miles) by 9 km (51.2 miles), and resembling a crosebetween the Grand Canyon in America and a giant pitted moonscape.
Then the following statement: "The crater is small, about one mile in diameter." is true, false, or inconclusive?
