Israeli Incursions into Syria During the 1973 Yom Kippur War

During the 1973 Arab-Israeli War (Yom Kippur War), Israeli forces did not penetrate into Syrian territory. While they crossed into Egyptian territory on the Sinai front, the Golan Heights saw Syrian forces initially capturing Israeli-held positions. Israel later counterattacked and regained control of the Golan, but did not advance deeper into Syria proper.
