Description

Mount Bental, located in the Golan Heights, overlooks Syria, the Golan, and Mount Hermon. The mountain is 1170 meters above sea level, thereby providing stunning views in almost every direction.
In the 1973 Yom Kippur war, one of the largest tank battles was fought at Mount Bental. Although the Syrians attacked with ten times the number of tanks Israel had, Israel knew that this position was too important to lose. The Syrians eventually retreated, although the area between Mount Hermon in the North and Mount Bental became known as the Valley of Tears.
