A little OT, but when I looked for this settlement of Tekoa on GMaps I noticed that nowadays most of Israel itself is not blurred out anymore once you zoom in.

A little OT, but when I looked for this settlement of Tekoa on GMaps I noticed that nowadays most of Israel itself is not blurred out anymore once you zoom in. I certainly remember that to be the case until not that long ago.
Some locations/places are still blurred, such as Ashdod, but Tel Aviv is now mostly "clean" on higher levels of zoom.
