  Golan Heights Cross-Section

The Golan Heights are strategically important for several reasons:
(a) Israeli presence in the Golan Heights provides a defensible border against invasion by land;
(b) All of northern Israel is within range of direct artillery fire from the Golan Heights;
(c) The Heights control the main water sources of the State of Israel.
