Mt. Hermonit, Mountain summit in Golan Heights, Israel

Mount Hermonit rises 1,211 meters above sea level, making it the second highest peak in the Golan Heights and third highest in Israel.

During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the mountain served as a critical observation point for Israeli forces monitoring Syrian military movements in the region.

The Arabic name Tell al-Sheikhah derives from Mount Hermon, while Druze tradition considers the mountain as the symbolic wife of Mount Hermon.

A partially paved road leads to the summit, where visitors can view the Baca Valley and examine the geological formations of this dormant volcano.

The mountain features an active tuff quarry, exposing layers of volcanic rock that provide insights into the geological history of the Golan Heights.
