History

Mount Hermonit was the major IDF fighting position during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. To the south of Mount Hermonit is the Valley of Tears, named after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. The valley was named Valley of Tears due to the terrible war and many tank kills here in 1973. The bulk of the Syrian invasion attempted to come through this valley. More than 350 destroyed tanks and APCs were left when they withdrew.
