The Golan Heights is a strategic, hilly plateau of roughly 1,200 square kilometers located on the border between Israel and Syria. Captured by Israel from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War and effectively annexed in 1981, it is considered occupied territory under international law, though the U.S. recognized Israeli sovereignty in 2019.

Key Aspects of the Golan Heights:
Strategic Importance: The plateau offers a commanding view of both northern Israel and southern Syria, making it essential for security and military intelligence.
Water Source: The region provides roughly one-third of Israel's fresh water, with rainfall feeding into the Jordan River and Sea of Galilee.
Control and Population: While formally considered part of Syria by most of the international community, it is controlled by Israel, which maintains over 30 settlements and a population of over 25,000 Jewish Israelis.
Druze Inhabitants: Approximately 20,000 Syrian Druze residents live in the region, holding permanent residency in Israel.
Buffer Zone: A UN-monitored buffer zone (UNDOF) has separated Israeli and Syrian forces since 1974.
