Quneitra
Quneitra (also Al Qunaytirah, Qunaitira, or Kuneitra; (アラビア語:القنيطرة) ''al-Qunayṭrah'') is the largely destroyed and abandoned capital of the Quneitra Governorate in south-western Syria. It is situated in a high valley in the Golan Heights at an elevation of 1,010 metres (3,313 feet)〔 above sea level. Quneitra was founded in the Ottoman era as a way station on the caravan route to Damascus and subsequently became a garrison town of some 20,000 people, strategically located near the ceasefire line with Israel. Its name is Arabic for "the little bridge".〔http://www.syriagate.com/Syria/about/cities/Quneitra/〕
On 10 June 1967, the last day of the Six-Day War, Quneitra came under Israeli control.〔On 10 June, Israeli authorities utilized a postmark, in Arabic, English and Hebrew, for mail sent from Quneitra. Livni, Israel. ''Encyclopedia of Israel Stamps.'' Tel Aviv: Sifriyat Ma'arit, 1969. p.195〕 It was briefly recaptured by Syria during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, but Israel regained control in its subsequent counter-offensive. The city was almost completely destroyed before the Israeli withdrawal in June 1974. It now lies in the demilitarized United Nations Disengagement Observer Force Zone between Syria and Israel, a short distance from the ''de facto'' border between the two countries, and is populated by only a handful of families. Syria refused to rebuild the city and actively discourages resettlement in the area. Israel was heavily criticized by the United Nations for the city's destruction,〔"(Report of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Population of the Occupied Territories )", United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3240, 29 November 1974, A/RES/3240, (unispal ).〕 while Israel has also criticized Syria for not rebuilding Quneitra.〔Abraham Rabinovich.
