The Quneitra Crossing (Arabic: تقاطع القنيطرة, Hebrew: מעבר קונייטרה) is an international border crossing between Syria and Israel and it is by no means an official point of crossing between the two nations, as they are officially in a state of war. Syrian Druze from the Golan Heights are permitted to cross one way through the passage to study, work and live in Syria. Only those who receive special permission are allowed to cross the border and come back for the Habil pilgrimage.
