The Zionism Exploitation Schemes in The Occupied Golan

The Israeli recent permission for a US company to drill for oil in The Occupied Golan Heights breaches international law and conventions as the relevant UN resolutions underscore that the decision, taken by Israel to impose its laws, legislations, administrative regulations on the occupied Golan is null and void, and of no legal effect on the international level.

According to Press TV, analysts in energy sector see that the act pushed by the Israeli Energy Minister, Uzi Landau, aims to convey a message that the Golan Heights would not be easily returned to Syria.

“The timing of the decision is directly related to the fact that the Syrian government is not free to deal with the problem and the Syrian Army cannot pose a threat to Israel right now,” Yaron Ezrahi, the Israeli political analyst said.

Up to 1967, the Israeli military forces have been steadily building up huge forces, to aggressively strike against its Arab neighbors. For it aimed at weakening the military and economic structure of its Arab neighbors ,and to eventually occupy the Arab territories. By this , it will have achieved the Zionist “greedily” aims. It found different excuses for achieving these aims including; the increasing “Fidauyen” operations against Israel on the borders, and the exploiting of the head waters of the Jordan River. From mid 1967, Israel began to mobilize its army to launch an attack. It called its reserved detachment forces, and started massing troops across the border. Thus, the military tension increased in the area. International political efforts intensified . Especially the French government which did not encourage the use of force, at that time. The Arab countries, Egypt, Syria and Jordan promised not to start a war, and to stop all military masses up. yet the Israeli Military Leadership, with the assistant of the U.S.A, exploited the situation and made its pre-emptive strike in the early hours of 5 June 1967. It carried out its plan by intensively sheltering the Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian air forces. This gave the Israeli air force full sky control throughout the battle. Between 5-8 June, the Israeli forces started attacking. The main attack was launched against the Egyptian Front, and the secondary attack against the Jordanian Front. It then turned its attention to depending itself on the Syrian Front, and was at the same time launching artillery plane attack against the Syrian army posted in the Golan, all the time.

And in the early hours of 8 June, the Israeli leadership rearranged its forces, and intensified its effort against the Syrian front. It mobilized a fighting group consisting of three backing legions. At 12.00 on 9 June, the Enemy forces turned to attack on the Syrian front. Starting off with intensive air fighting, it focused its attack on the Northern Sector of the Syrian front, especially towards : Kafar Salet, and Tal Al- Kilau, and launching backing attacks towards the mid and Southern Sectors of the Front. The Enemy moved quite slowly, and by 9 June had not achieved much. It had penetrated 4-5 km deep and around 2km toward Al-Darbashia, Hadar . This was due to the strong resistance sought out by the Syrian Arab Army who bravely fought despite the difficult circumstances they were going through; especially the full sky control that the enemy had. Very often, the Enemy’s Force would withdraw from infront of the Syrian resisting defense, and would turn toward destroying the defending post by its warplanes and then would move forward once more. Tal Al-Fikar battle was pride at the time. A Syrian Infantry detachment was able to hinder an attack undertaken by the main sectors of Major General, Mashat Golany who is considered an elite in the enemy ‘s forces. The profound losses, many dead and equipments destroyed , left the Israeli army in a shock. More than once, the Enemy would order its army to cease air sheltering against our courageous detachment. Eventually, the enemy occupied this momentum post and was therefore able to expand the Sector penetrating 10-12 km long, and 5 km deep. Israel continued attacking on 10 June, despite the UN’s cease fire resolution .New reserved troops moved in from the Jordanian Front, to enter a new round of battle.
