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.
The easiest way to see this is during a solar eclipse, when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. With high-resolution imaging, you can clearly see the shadows, but thereâs a particular time that you can see an incredible effect with nothing more than a pair of eclipse glasses or welderâs shades. During a total solar eclipse, either right before or right after totality, the Moonâs disk nearly â but not entirely â blots out the Sun.
