The 210th Division "Bashan" (Hebrew: עוצבת הבשן; Utzbat HaBashan) is a territorial division in the Israel Defense Forces' Northern Command, responsible for the front with Syria. The division was formed after the 366th Division "Netiv Ha-Esh/Path of Fire" of Southern Command was disbanded.

The division participated in the Israeli invasion of Syria after the fall of the Assad regime. [2]
