PM Netanyahu and family tour the North

Residents of Israel's north were surprised on Sunday by reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife Sara, and their two sons – Yair and Avner – would use the Passover holiday to take a trip to northern Israel.   The family chose to go to open tourist sites in order to limit the effects of the prime minister's security detail from adversely impacting other visitors.   The sites themselves are to be kept secret, but were chosen for their combination of history, archeology and scenery. The visit lasted a few hours.
