Mount Hermon: Mountain range in Syria and Lebanon
Mount Hermon is a mountain cluster constituting the southern end of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range. Its summit straddles the border between Syria and Lebanon and, at 2,814 m (9,232 ft) above sea level, is the highest point in Syria. On the top, in the United Nations buffer zone between Syrian and Israeli-occupied territories, is the highest permanently manned UN position in the world, known as "Hermon Hotel", located at 2814 metres altitude (9,232 ft). The southern slopes of Mount Hermon extend to the Israeli-occupied portion of the Golan Heights, where the Mount Hermon ski resort is located with a top elevation of 2,040 metres (6,690 ft). A peak located about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) south-southwest of Mount Hermon, known as Mitzpe Hashlagim, is the highest point in the entirety of Israel when including Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, at 2,236 m (7,336 ft).
