Ortal (Template:Lang-he-n) is an Israeli settlement and a kibbutz in the northern Golan Heights which lies in the municipal territory of the Israeli Golan Regional Council. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
Ortal is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Katzrin.[3] Its vineyard, affiliated with the Golan Winery, produces several varieties of grapes.[4] Its elevation is 915 meters above sea level.
