Encyclopedia: Mount Hermon

Mount Hermon (33°24′N, 35°51′E; ; Hebrew: הר חרמון‎, Har Hermon, Arabic: جبل الشيخ‎, Jabal el-Shaiykh, Djabl a-Shekh, "mountain of the chief" and "snowy mountain";) is a mountain in the Anti-Lebanon mountain range. Its highest point is 2,814 m (9,230 feet) above sea level. This summit is on the border between Syria and Lebanon, and is under Syrian control. The southern and western slopes of Mount Hermon came under the control of Israel as a result of the Israeli victory in the 1967 Six-Day War. This part of the mountain and the Golan Heights were unilaterally annexed by Israel in 1980.
