The ambitions of the Zionist entity in the occupied Syrian Golan were planned years before its occupation with the aim of exploiting its water, agricultural and even tourism resources. Israel began to loot Golan resources since its occupation after the June aggression of 1967, ignoring all international laws and norms.

The policy of expansion and aggression pursued by the occupation entity affected the human, vital and natural components of the Syrian Golan.  Al-Sheikh Mountain, which enjoys natural, climatic and historical character, is one of these areas that were subjected to the Israeli occupation, which used all forms of threats and intimidation to displace its people and exploit it for tourism in summer and winter amid malicious attempts to obliterate its historical features .

The occupation authorities recruit people for the mountain, which is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists, during the summer with the intent of distorting the geography and history of the place, fabricating false fictitious stories and delivering political messages that the occupation is trying to consolidate in the memory of everyone who visits the place.

Hundreds of the sons of the occupied Syrian Golan and the occupied Palestinian territories in 1948 participated in a stand in front of the Gilboa detention camp in solidarity with the Palestinian, Syrian and Arab prisoners in the Israeli occupation jails. They denounced the repressive campaign against the prisoners after the Freedom Tunnel operation.

The released prisoner, Sidqi Al-Maqt, confirmed that the six Palestinian prisoners who snatched their freedom through a tunnel they dug with their own hands from their cell in the heavily fortified Israeli prison “Gilboa” is a heroic act, like a miracle.

Sidqi Al-Maqt, the dean of the Syrian prisoners, who spent 32 years in the occupation’s prisons, most of them in “Gilboa” prison, explained that this heroic operation demonstrated the fragility of the occupation entity and destroyed all its fortifications.

Al-Maqt stressed that that the heroic prisoners represent the true will of the Palestinian and Arab fighter who refuses to submit and defies all circumstances.
