Golan Heights

elevated area of land in northeastern Israel bordering on Lebanon and Syria that was conquered from Syria in 1967

The Golan Heights ( Ramat HaGolan, Habat al-ūlān) or Golan is a plateau on the border of Israel, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. It is about 1250 square kilometres in area.The name "Golan" refers both to the historical name of a geographic region, and, in contemporary usage, to territory captured by Israel from Syria in the Six-Day War (the captured territory also includes parts of Mount Hermon, which is a different geographic region than Golan Heights). (See Names and their applications below). Syria asserts the Heights are within the governorate of al Qunaytirah.
