The conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas has led to widespread devastation in Gaza and has also heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah on the Israel-Lebanon border. Now, the conflict is affecting the ski industry as footage posted on X (formerly Twitter) reportedly captures a Hezbollah rocket striking a ski area chairlift in Israel. While Israel isn’t typically recognized for its skiing, the country is home to Mount Hermon Ski Resort, located in the Golan Heights region. This resort stands out as Israel’s sole destination for winter sports, offering a modest but significant skiing experience on the nationโs only snow-covered mountain.
The chairlifts at Mount Hermon are an unexpected target and a key feature of the resort, transporting skiers and tourists alike to the upper slopes, where they can take in breathtaking panoramic views and engage in winter activities. The resort, though small compared to global skiing hotspots, holds cultural and recreational value for the region, making the reported attack on its infrastructure particularly striking.
Text of the post, when translated from Hebrew to English by Google reads:
Heavy damage was caused to the cable car at the Hermon site by a rocket fired from Lebanon. Since the beginning of the war, the mountain and its outposts have been attacked on a daily basis.

This event is a stark reminder of how war affects even the most peaceful, recreational places. The ongoing conflict has brought violence to this otherwise tranquil setting, demonstrating the far-reaching and tragic consequences of war, where even leisure activities are no longer safe from fear and destruction.
