This article mentions "[Google Earth] allows users to see detailed aerial photos of ... the top-secret power station located near the southern city of Ashkelon."

Anyone know where this is? I can find no reference in Google to a power station other than the Palestinians lobbing a rocket into one. There is a large oil refinery to the south but how could that be 'secret?'

We're also very low on Israel map submissions and there is a heck of a lot of coverage of that country now. Anyone up to it?

The "high resolution" of Israel in Google Earth is obviously deliberately re-pixelised. Very bad res.

Should document what can be seen 'cause if Iran has their way there won't be much left of Israel.
