thumb|300px|Map showing the Lower and Upper Galilee. The narrow "Galilee Panhandle" to the east may be seen geologically and geographically as a separate area (as part of the Jordan Rift Valley), or as part of historical Galilee. The same applies to the western shore of the [[Sea of Galilee and the Jordan Valley down to Beit She'an, as well as the Jezreel Valley in the south and the coastal strip bordering the Galilee to the west.]]

AI overview

Galilee is a historical region in the eastern Mediterranean that encompasses varied terrain, including mountainous areas (divided into Upper and Upper Lower Galilee), a panhandle extending eastward into the Jordan Rift Valley, and surrounding valleys and coastal zones. The exact boundaries of Galilee have been subject to interpretation, as geographers and historians have debated whether certain adjacent areas—such as the Galilee Panhandle, the Jordan Valley, and the Jezreel Valley—should be considered part of Galilee proper or as separate regions.
