Tel Azaziat

Tel Azaziat, Summit in Golan Heights, Israel.

Tel Azaziat is a basalt hill rising 298 m above sea level in the foothills of the Golan Heights, 1.5 km east of moshav She'ar Yashuv and 2 km west of Tel Faher. Its summit holds the remains of a Syrian military outpost and, near the former position, traces of Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman structures beside Horvat Omerit. The hill overlooks the eastern Hula Valley.

Tel Azaziat was a Syrian military outpost in the demilitarized zone after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, used to shell Israeli settlements below. On 13 November 1964 Israeli Mystere jets attacked the position under Plan 'Ayit'. On 6 June 1967, during the Six-Day War, Syrian forces launched an infantry attack from the hill toward She'ar Yashuv before Golani Brigade captured it.

The Arabic name Tell al-Aziziyat preserves the hill's earlier identity, while Hebrew speakers also call it Giv'at Azaz. On the former Syrian outpost, remains of Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman structures have been found next to the 20th-century fortifications. Nearby lies the ruin of Hurvat Omerit.

Visitors need to stay on marked paths because unexploded materials from past military use remain in the ground. Clear weather makes the exposed hilltop more accessible and safer to explore on foot.

In the night of 8–9 December 1954, during Operation Cricket, a Syrian force captured five Israeli soldiers near the hill, among them Meir Moses and Uri Ilan. The former outpost also served as a launch point for the Syrian infantry attack toward She'ar Yashuv on 6 June 1967.
