Israel

Israel (Hebrew: מדינת ישראל) officially the State of Israel was a country in the Middle East before the Great War.

Background
The history of Israel and its creation are unknown, due to the Divergence. However, in the Fallout world before the Great War, the country of Israel was almost certainly a place where Arab-Israeli tensions often boiled over into conflict as in the real world. This seems especially true due to the fact in December of 2053, a terrorist nuclear weapon destroyed Tel Aviv, a large city in the country, irradiating the surrounding area. It is unknown if Israel as a whole was destroyed in the attack.

Appearances
Israel is directly mentioned in the Fallout Bible timeline and a terminal entry in the Underworld in Fallout 3, although weapons made by Israeli companies appear in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. Israel is also referenced in an inscription on a gravestone in Fallout 2 ' s Golgotha. Arcade Gannon's middle name is Israel. Two locations in Israel, Jerusalem and Zion, are mentioned in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.
