Golan Heights: Encyclopedia II - Golan Heights - Geography

Geographically, the Heights are bordered on the west by a rock escarpment that drops 1700 feet (500 m) to the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River; on the south by the Yarmouk River; on the north by the international border with Lebanon, and on the east by a largely flat plain, called the Hauran. The Golan is usually divided into three regions: northern (between Nahals Sa'ar and Gilabon), central (between Nahals Gilabon and Dilayot), and southern (bet ...

Golan Heights: Encyclopedia II - Golan Heights - Current status
The Israeli army captured the Heights and put them under military administration from 1967 until 1981, when the Knesset passed The Golan Heights Law[4], similar to its 1967 measures concerning Jerusalem. It permitted the distribution of Israeli identity cards in January 1982 to the mainly Druze Syrians who remained there and allowed them to acquire Israeli citizenship, but most chose to retain their Syrian citizenship [5]. The Syrian government wants the Arab residents of the Golan Heights to retain their loyalty to Syria. To foster Syrian loyalty, Syria ...

Golan Heights: Encyclopedia II - Golan Heights - Ancient history

The area has been occupied by many civilizations. During the 3rd millennium BCE the Amorites dominated and inhabited the Golan until the 2nd millennium, when the Arameans took over. Later known as Bashan, the area was contested between Kingdom of Israel (the northern of the two Jewish kingdoms existent at that time) and the Aramean kingdom from the 800s BCE. King Ahab of Israel (reigned 874–852 ...

Golan Heights: Encyclopedia II - Golan Heights - History since World War I

The boundary between the forthcoming British and French mandates was defined in broad terms by the Franco-British Boundary Agreement of December 1920. This placed most of the Golan in the French sphere. However, the joint commission formed to demarcate the border precisely did not complete its work until 1923, so the actual transfer of the Golan to French control did not occur until the year after the British Mandate of Palestine came into being. In accordance with the same process, a nearby parcel of land that included the ancient site of D ...

Golan Heights: Encyclopedia II - Yom Kippur War - Background

Yom Kippur War - Causes. This war was part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, a conflict which has included many battles and wars since 1948. During the Six-Day War six years earlier, the Israelis had captured the Sinai clear to the Suez Canal, which had become the cease-fire line. The Israelis had also captured roughly half of the Golan Heights from Syria. In the years following that war, Israel erected lines of fortification in both the Sinai and the Golan Heights. In 1971 Israel spent $500 million fortifying ...

Golan Heights: Encyclopedia II - Six-Day War - Conclusion of conflict and post-war situation

By June 10, Israel had completed its final offensive in the Golan Heights and a ceasefire was signed the following day. Israel had seized the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank of the Jordan River (including East Jerusalem), and the Golan Heights.

Golan Heights: Encyclopedia II - Yom Kippur War - Long-term effects of the war

The peace discussion at the end of the war was the first time that Arab and Israeli officials met for direct public discussions since the aftermath of the 1948 war. For the Arabs (and Egyptians in particular), the psychological trauma of their defeat in the Six-Day War had been healed. In many ways, it allowed them to negotiate with the Israelis as equals. However, given that the war had started about as well as the Arabs could have wanted but at the end they only made limited territorial gains in the Sinai front, while Israel gained ...
