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. B. Ralph Chou, MSc, OD. Associate Professor, School of Optometry, University of Waterloo. Adapted from NASA RP 1383 Total Solar Eclipse of 1999 August 11, April 1997, p. 19. A total solar eclipse is probably the most spectacular astronomical event that most people will experience in their lives. There is a great deal of interest in watching eclipses, and thousands of astronomers (both amateur and professional) travel around the world to observe and photograph them.
