Har Bnei Rasan, Mountain summit in Golan Heights, Israel
Located at an elevation of 1,072 meters above sea level, Har Bnei Rasan stands as a dormant volcanic peak in the Bashanit Ridge of Golan Heights.
The mountain's name preserves the legacy of Bedouin pagan tribes who arrived from Yemen to the Byzantine Empire territory in the late 3rd century CE.
The slopes of Har Bnei Rasan contain remnants of the Circassian village Mumsia, established in 1878 and abandoned during the 1967 Six-Day War.
A wind farm constructed in 1993 near the summit generates electricity for surrounding settlements, while the Bashanit Ridge Nature Reserve encompasses the eastern, southern, and western slopes.
The mountain served as a strategic position during the Battle of Yarmouk in 636 CE when Byzantine forces compelled local Ghassanid tribes to fight against Muslim invasion.
