The area known as `Golan Heights` appears in the news in the context of events related to the Middle East.
The Golan Heights is a region located in the Middle East, specifically in the eastern part of the Levant. It is a disputed territory situated between Israel and Syria. Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria during the Six-Day War in 1967 and later annexed it, a move that has not been recognized internationally. The status of the Golan Heights remains a subject of contention between Israel and Syria, and the region has been a frequent topic of discussion and conflict in the Middle East.
