Golan Heights, Strategic plateau in northern Israel.
The Golan Heights extends between Mount Hermon in the north and the Yarmouk River in the south, with elevations reaching 1,226 meters.
Israel captured the territory from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War and later passed legislation to apply Israeli law to the region in 1981.
The region contains multiple Druze villages, Jewish settlements, and archeological sites with dolmens and ancient synagogues dating back thousands of years.
The territory produces one-third of Israel's water supply through its rivers and streams that flow into the Sea of Galilee.
The volcanic basalt rock formations create distinctive black stone landscapes and fertile soil conditions throughout the elevated territory.
