The Shephelah, also known as the Shfela or Judaean Foothills, is a transitional region in south-central Israel, stretching between the Judaean Mountains and the Coastal Plain. The region is characterized by rolling hills, fertile valleys, and a temperate Mediterranean to semi-arid climate. It is approximately 60 kilometers long and 13 kilometers wide, and is subdivided into two parts: the western "Low Shephelah" and the eastern "High Shephela". The region has a complex geology, consisting of folded rock layers and soft Eocene chalk formations, and has been the site of many biblical battles and settlements.learn more on wikipedia
