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.
Eye Safety During Solar Eclipses. Fred Espenak. Adapted from NASA RP 1383 Total Solar Eclipse of 1998 February 26, April 1996, p. 17. The Sun can be viewed safely with the naked eye only during the few brief seconds or minutes of a total solar eclipse. Partial eclipses, annular eclipses, and the partial phases of total eclipses are never safe to watch without taking special precautions.
