Hezbollah attacked the Eastern Ski Observatory, located in the occupied Syrian Golan, using successive swarms of attack drones, which led to the damage of its domes, its espionage and intelligence equipment, and its technical systems, and the destruction of the targeted devices and the outbreak of fires in them.

According to sources in Hezbollah, the center is being targeted for the first time since the October 1973 war, and is the largest operation by the party's air force since October 8, indicating that the technical reconnaissance center on Mount Hermon is equivalent in importance to the Israeli Meron base.

- The highest target to be targeted since the beginning of the Battle of Tufan Al-Aqsa on the Lebanese front, with an altitude of 2230 meters.

- It is located on the highest peaks of Mount Hermon in the occupied Golan.

- Covers and monitors the eastern direction from Syria to Iraq, Jordan, Tabuk and up to the Iranian border.

- It includes the most advanced electronic, espionage, intelligence and technical systems.

 

The Mount Hermon Observatory is of strategic importance for several reasons, including:-

collecting early warning information, collecting intelligence in real time, waging electronic warfare against a ground or air attack, and determining artillery positions in the Damascus Plain, in addition to using the Hermon Mountains and their western slopes to carry out a strategic encirclement movement towards Syria, launching operations in Syria and Lebanon, and controlling the main water sources in Israel.
