Dov say that, according to National Geographic magazine, the Ramata observation post, 1,194 meters above sea level, is one of the six or ten most scenic lookouts in the world. The outpost is shelled from time to time and is reached via armored convoy, but the soldiers serving in this amazing landscape would much rather be in the territories, where the "real action" is. In the past three years Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah's men have attacked Israeli outposts on the mountain about 30 times. Seven IDF soldiers have been killed in Hizballah operations in Mt. Dov since the IDF's withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000, including three who were kidnapped and taken to Lebanon.
