The last one I heard of was traversing an outdoor course over varying terrain in autonomous of 300 meters. The object was to try and get as close to the target location as possible.
Actually, there have been a lot of Arab teams in First Israel during the years, one even arriving at the Championship in Atlanta. This team is also a most female team, and is quite a story. They are team 1946.

Some of those teams even define themselves as Palestinians...


This year there will be 4 Arab teams in the regional.
