Strike on Syria Observation Post Was a Long Time Coming
(Ynet News) Ron Ben Yishai - Tel al-Hara, which Syria claimed was attacked by Israel, is a 1.1 km.-high extinct volcano that towers over the Syrian side of the Golan Heights. It is the highest point in the region, permitting visual and electronic observation reaching far into Israeli territory. For decades, Tel al-Hara has served as an intelligence base for the Syrian army and other elements such as Iran and Russia, which operate there under Syria's patronage.
