Mount Adir (Hebrew: הר אדיר, romanized: Har Adir, Arabic: جبل عداثر, romanized: Jabal Adathir) is a mountain in the Upper Galilee, Israel, located within the area of the Mount Meron Nature Reserve, near the settlements of Sasa, Mattat, and Hurfeish. The mountain rises to a height of 1,008 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest mountains in Israel. It is covered with a dense Mediterranean forest of oak, terebinth, pistacia, and kermes oak. The name of the mountain, which overlooks Lebanon, was given to it because of the verse from the Book of Isaiah "and Lebanon with its majestic trees will fall." At the site, there are remnants of a fortress from the Iron Age, which was presumably built by the Omride dynasty of the Kingdom of Israel. The summit of the mountain is closed to visitors and on it is an IDF base with numerous antennas, which are visible from afar.
