United Nations Disengagement Observer Force Zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

United Nations Disengagement Observer Force Zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) Zone was established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 350 on 31 May 1974,[1] to implement Resolution 338 (1973) which called for an immediate ceasefire and implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 242.[2]

signed between Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights,...to end the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

This was signed by Israel and Syria on  May 31, 1973. 38 Years ago today! 

The resolution was passed on the same day the 'Agreement on Disengagement'[3] was signed between Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights, finally establishing a ceasefire to end the 1973 Yom Kippur War."

Editors Note: It is truly hard to imagine that an area as beautiful as the Golan which is lush and green and currently home to many Israeli wineries could seriously be discussed to be turned over to known enemies of the nation of Israel.


On June 9, 1967, Israel moved against Syrian forces on the Golan. By late afternoon, June 10, Israel was in complete control of the plateau. 

Israel's seizure of the strategic heights occurred only after 19 years of provocation from Syria, and after unsuccessful efforts to get the international community to act against the aggressors.

Six years later, in a surprise attack on Yom Kippur, the Syrians overran the Golan Heights before being repulsed by Israeli counterattacks. After the war, Syria signed a disengagement agreement that left the Golan in Israel's hands.


Editors Note: Anyone ever visiting Israel would be taken in by the lush beauty of the Golan Heights. While enemies of Israel would simply turn the area into a military camp to eventually wipe away the nation that has been known as Israel fron the earliest preserved records of civilization.
