In the land around the eight churches at the site of the Baptism of Christ on the West Bank of the River Jordan, you can still see the lines of anti-tank mines, laid over 50 years ago during the Six Day War. Look closely, and the tailfins of mortar bombs, protruding from the sand, are also evident.
