Useless to say it's an Israeli village. For one thing, it's not even 100% clear that the Golan heights were formally fully annexed by Israel in the first place (as opposed to Israeli law being extended to cover the Golan heights), and secondly, the inhabitants of Majdal Shams are uncontroversially NOT Israelis...

These paper eclipse glasses are essential for safe viewing of this solar event. Prepare For 2017. On August 21, 2017, millions of Americans will be able to witness the moon passing between the Earth and Sun in a total eclipse. This event will entirely block all of the sun, briefly turning day into night.
To follow the progress of a solar eclipse, of course! But gazing at the Sun for any length of time without proper eye protection is terribly dangerous and may result in âeclipse blindness,â a serious injury in which the eyeâs retina is damaged by solar radiation.
