The Untold Story of the Golan Heights
In 1967 Israel occupied the western section of Syria's Golan Heights, expelling 130,000 residents and leaving only a few thousand Arab inhabitants clustered in several villages. Sometimes characterised as the 'forgotten occupation', the western Golan Heights have been transformed by Israeli colonisation, including the appropriation of land and water resources, economic development and extensive military use. This landmark volume is the first academic study in English of Arab politics and culture in the occupied Golan Heights. It focuses on an indigenous community, known as the Jawlanis, and their experience of everyday colonisation and resistance to settler colonisation. Chapters cover how g...
Defensible Borders on the Golan Heights
The purpose of this analysis is to demonstrate that Israel does not possess a plausible solution to its security needs without the Golan Heights. Not only was the "solution" proposed in the year 2000 implausible at the time, but changing circumstances, both strategic and operative, have rendered Israel's forfeiture of the Golan today an even more reckless act.
The Golan Heights
Presenting the settlement landscape of the Golan before and after June 1967, The Golan Heights deals with the issue of the border between Israel and Syria, and with the Israeli settlement process in the area following the Six Day War. The story of the Golan Heights and its position between Syria and Israel does not belong only to the past; it is still interwoven in the political present of the two countries. Public discourse in Israel on the political future of the Golan, and the direct and indirect political discussions between Israel and Syria, rest to a great extent on personal and collective memories, and these, by nature, are based on the past. The perceptions of the Israeli public were...
A Rabbi's Northern Adventure
Rabbi Haber recounts his extraordinary experiences, from his service in the USA as Air Force Chaplain stationed in Alaska, through his current position as Chabad Rabbi on the Golan Heights. With humor and good wit, Haber relates the challenges of keeping Yiddishkeit alive in the frozen wilderness, and of keeping the morale high in the Golan Heights, making for an exceptional, inspirational story for all.
Israel And Syria
This book demonstrates that the strategic importance of the Golan Heights lies in three spheres: defense, deterrence, and bargaining asset. It examines security arrangements that are a crucial element for Israel's security and for the prevention of war with Syria during the transition period.
Israeli Soldier vs Syrian Soldier
Israel seized the strategically critical Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 Six Day War in an audacious and determined operation, yet when the Yom Kippur War broke out the Israeli military were exposed by the effectiveness of the newly confident and dangerous Syrian army. In the Golan only luck, herculean Israeli efforts and tactical misjudgements by the Syrians were to allow the Israelis to maintain control. In this book, three pivotal encounters in the Golan are assessed, supported by artwork, maps and photographs, tracking how both sides' forces evolved over the period.
Syrian commando operations on the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War (1973)
This paper presents findings from independent research conducted by Dr. Josef Berger, who mapped the flight routes of the Syrian aircraft and helicopters that penetrated the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War. His research revealed that on the morning of October 9, 1973, the fourth day of the war, Syrian commando forces conducted three separate landings behind the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) that fought in the Golan Heights. This casts the Syrian landings in a new light, as the IDF had, until now, been aware of only one such landing, which took place near Nafakh Junction. In that landing, the nearby IDF forces quickly engaged and eliminated the Syrian forces. The research also correlat...
