Assault on Tel Faher

Breakthrough at Qala

Displacement from the Plateau
The June fighting and its aftermath caused large numbers of Syrian residents to leave the Golan Heights, profoundly changing the population of the occupied territory.
Mount Hermon Positions
Control of high ground around Mount Hermon acquired strategic importance after the June war because observation positions overlooked routes through the Golan and surrounding territory.

Following its victory in the June war, Israel established military administration over territory captured from Syria, while the international community continued to regard the area as occupied.
