Mount Hermon (Hebrew: הַר חֶרְמוֹן; Arabic: جبل الشيخ or جبل حرمون) is a mountain cluster constituting the southern end of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range. Its summit straddles the border between Syria and Lebanon and, at 2,814 m (9,232 ft) above sea level, is the highest point in Syria. The southern slopes of Mount Hermon extend to the Israeli-occupied portion of the Golan Heights.
