::Firstly, those other "mainstream" maps may be showing the whole country of Syria; "Mainstream" map of Israel will also show the GH. However, we are only interested in the GH region here, and it happenes to be disputed, so we cannot have just Syria taking up the whole area of the map on the left. Secondly, the map used in the infobox here is a new GH map made for ancient sites. Previously there were only S or I maps available. The Israeli town infoboxes you mention have only ever had the Israel map to use. We can use the better GH map for them if other editors feel that inhabited locations are on par with ancient ruins. Bear in mind, that while ruins may be claimed by Syria, Israel's settlements themselevs are not. This being the case, and the fact that the people living in these locations are under Israeli jurisdiction, the Israel map may be prefered for Israeli towns on the GH.
