“Land surveying and settlement” in the Occupied Golan Heights

August 7, 2023

The Israeli Occupation Forces took advantage of and exploited the reality that they have controlled the Golan Heights since 1967, some 56 years ago, in order to seize as much land as possible. However, the occupation did not stop at seizing the land of Syrian residents who were forcibly displaced from the Golan Heights to Syria during the 1967 War but the confiscation also extended to the lands which belonged to the Syrian residents of the five villages, who remained in the Golan Heights. As we will observe later in this paper, the occupation seized more than 50% of these lands, which were owned by those residents before the occupation. Those lands were confiscated, and they were disposed of them according to their urban, agricultural, grazing, and other needs.
