Thanks for reversing the change.
Clearly there can be a difference between administrative boundaries and physical boundaries.
It looks like the checkpoint was created within the Jerusalem administrative boundaries, just like a customs checkpoint is located within the administrative boundaries of the controlling nation.
"MOIN" stands for Ministry Of INternal affairs. See
osm.wiki/WikiProject_Israel#MOIN_import
and
https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=10756
for more details on this import.

Hello Mr Massri,
What is the source for these changes in the administrative boundaries of Jerusalem?
For example, the govmap.gov.il boundaries at
https://goo.gl/taHm8X
look like the boundary deleted in this edit, rather than the fixed boundaries.

I'm not asking about any tag changes. I'm asking about the change in the shape and the position of the boundary that was caused by adding node/5512692697

Hello IbnTēšfīn,
.
In this edit you have added an "ele=6" tag to
way/110058089
.
As far as I see, the elevation near the Cave of the Patriarchs is about 885 meters above sea level.
Did you have some other property in mind?
Perhaps building:levels=* ?

Hello Nathan C,
.
In this edit you have added
way/435276398
for the Cave of the Patriarchs while it already had been mapped as way/110058089
.
Can you please explain the reason for this duplication?

Thanks!

I was not planning on reverting the entire changeset, just the Nature reserve's boundary, effectively re-importing it.
Am I right to understand that you have reverted the Nature reserve's boundary yourself?
BTW, AFAIK, תמ"א 39 is not a valid source for Nature Reserve boundaries.

Hi Mr Massri and thanks for the detailed response.
.
As far as I understand the law, nature reserve boundaries can only be declared and changed by process that is finalized with an announcement by the Minister of Interior. They are no affected by national plans or subsequent approval of local plans.
.
There seem to be various populated places that overlap Nature reserve. The Mt. Meron Nature reserve being an extreme case.
.
I also think it is not our responsibility to resolve conflicts created by the authorities. For example, an overlap of 3 Nature Reserve declarations at
https://israelhiking.osm.org.il/#!/15 /29.7839/34.9227
or a gap between a nature reserve and its extension at
https://israelhiking.osm.org.il/#!/14/30.0880/34.8989
.
I would like to restore the originally-declared boundaries.

Hello hatul,
.
According to waterway=river#Using_relations
waterway relations are used for long rivers as it reduces the number of data duplication and helps keep them synchronized.
.
The wiki also says:
Please remember to remove duplicated values from the segments (including waterway=river tag), if they are the same for the whole relation. Segments should be tagged only with values that are specific to them. For example width=* value may belong here, because width of the river usually changes a lot from its source to the mouth.
.
It seems this has not been done here for
relation/7996152
and in other relations you have created, such as
relation/7948795/history
relation/7949963/history
relation/7942579/history
relation/7953927/history
relation/7958028/history

Yes, I got this e-mail response:
.
Good morning
We don't have any ferry between Israel and Limassol.
We can only offer you a car/passenger cargo ship between Salerno Italy - Ashdod
Best regards
Fay
.
It seems like there advertised Ashdod->Limassol route is also not available.
By the way, these GPS traces could also be from people sailing on yachts and passenger ships.

This seems to be a vehicles carrier service between England and the Mediterranean, not a ferry.
It sails from Ashdod to Limassol - unrelated to Haifa.
It does not sail in the reverse direction.

Hello Dimster,
In this edit you have added a ferry route between Limassol and Haifa.
I could not find any ferry or passenger route operating there. Can you provide a website for the schedule of the ferry?

Hello Mr Massri,
In this edit you have modified the boundaries of the Holot Nizzanim Nature Reserve.
I am not aware of any formal announcement of a change in the boundaries.
If this was by mistake, I would like to revert the change.

Hi,
It seems that you are the only person that mapped the "شارع رئيسي" name in Israel.
I have never seen such a name in Israel, and it contradicts the Israeli street naming conventions.
.
What is the source of the "شارع رئيسي" ("Main Street") name for way/497163516 and road 8050 way/39785028?
Have you seen in on the street signs?

Hello Ala montana,
Please clarify your edits in Israel.
I would prefer to avoid reverting them.
Best Regards

Hello Fürfelder,
.
In this changeset you have modified the Jerusalem City Municipal Boundary as well as several other boundaries including the Israel country boundary (admin_level=2).
.
Was there any legal announcement from either an Israeli or a Palestinian authority about this change?
.
Best Regards,
Zeev

I don't know. Otherwise I would have tagged it as such.

Hello Ala montana,

Are you sure there is a refugee camp in this cave?
