Tel Faher (or Golani Lookout) is a former Syrian outpost in the Golan Heights that was captured by Israel in the Six-Day War in 1967. Tel Faher was the site of an intense battle between the Israel Defense Forces and the Syrians which ended in the conquest of the outpost by the Golani Brigade.〔(History of Tel Faher )〕 Tel Faher is now a park commemorating those who died in the battle.〔(Off the Beaten Track in Israel, Mitzpe Golani )〕 ==Preface== Even though Syria was the main instigator of the war, it remained relatively intact during the first four days of the Six day war, despite the fact that its air force had been destroyed on the first day. Syria's response was the shelling of the Israeli settlements of Upper Galilee from the Golan Heights as they had done for years. Two Syrian artillery battalions with M46 Soviet 130mm guns and two companies with heavy mortars and dug-in World War II German Wehrmacht PzKpfw IV tanks were positioned along the Golan escarpment. Israel suffered the loss of 2 civilians and more 16 wounded. The Syrian army hit in the first four days also 205 houses, 2 tractor sheds, 6 barns, 30 tractors, 15 cars and 9 chicken coops.〔The Six Day War 1967: Jordan and Syria, by Simon Dunstan, p.65〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tel Faher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
