2 Sivan, 5768
On this day in 5727 (June 10, 1967), The Golan Heights was liberated from Syrian Arab Muslim Nazi occupation. Until the Six Day War, The Syrian Army was deployed in strong fortifications on The Golan Heights, from which they repeatedly shelled the Israeli settlements below. On the fifth day of the war, The Israeli Army broke through the Syrian front. Facing very difficult topographical conditions, they scaled the steep and rugged Heights. The Engineering Corps cleared the way of mines, followed by bulldozers which leveled a route for the tanks on the rocky face. After a more than 24 hours of heavy fighting, the Syrian deployment collapsed and the Syrian forces fled in retreat.
