Hermon outpost, Military outpost on Mount Hermon, Israel
The Hermon outpost stands at an elevation of 2,100 meters on Mount Hermon's shoulder, serving as a military installation with advanced surveillance equipment.
During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Syrian forces captured the outpost, but Israeli Defense Forces reclaimed it on October 22 with significant casualties.
The outpost earned the nickname 'Eyes of the Nation' due to its strategic position overlooking Syria, Lebanon, and northern Israel territories.
United Nations observers monitor and enforce restrictions on the number of military personnel permitted within the fortified installation at any given time.
The installation contains specialized electronic intelligence gathering equipment for Unit 8200 and multiple Israeli Air Force systems on the mountain summit.
