Foxes on Mount Hermon, 1.2.24/Photo: The Hermon website
The Hermon site is admittedly closed to visitors due to the tense situation in recent months, and this is especially frustrating when the snow conditions there are simply great.
Today, the snow on the upper level is at least 1.5 meters high, while the lower level is 1 meter high.
The animals, as we posted here today, are not interested and a pair of furry foxes was recorded this morning (Thursday) playing in the fresh, white snow on the upper level.

The Hermon Reserve - a unique reserve in Israel
Although the Hermon nature reserve is closed due to the security situation, we asked the Nature and Gardens Authority for recent photos from the reserve, which contains flora and fauna that are unique to Hermon.
"In the Hermon Nature Reserve, a rare forest grows and there are trees and animals that do not exist anywhere else in Israel," says Amit Dolev, ecologist of the North District at the Nature and Parks Authority.
"Besides the Hermon oak trees, the reserve is home to wildlife unique to the high areas of the country, including jackals, foxes, wolves and pigs. In addition, many rare reptiles also live in the area, such as the Hermon viper. During the winter in the High Hermon area, some of the animals go into a long hibernation like the viper Hermon. Rodents such as the snow vole that live in the higher part of the Hermon that create enclosures under the snow and use the seeds they collected in the summer. Insects will not be active in the season and will return to reproduction after the snowfall. The species active during this period are the fox and the fox. Birds and bats will return mainly towards the spring. The trees, such as the Hermon oak which reaches 1,600 meters, sings its leaves until the end of winter. The other trees of the forest stop growing in winter. At the top of the Hermon the only plants that grow are shrubs, for example a shrub called a spreading cherry."
But even when the Hermon is closed to visitors, that doesn't mean you can't walk around it, in the north of the Golan Heights, and enjoy some good snow and sights of Europe.
So here are some of the places where it snowed in the last two days, and you can reach them by car.
