List of Syrian towns and villages that were destroyed by Israel in the Golan Heights after the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War. This included 312 inhabited areas, including 2 cities, 163 villages, and 108 farms.[1] In 1966, the Syrian population of the Golan Heights was estimated at 147,613.[2]

131,000 Syrians were expelled from the Golan Heights and only 7,000 people remained in six villages including Su’heita, which was destroyed and used as an Israeli military post after expelling its inhabitants to Mas'ade. The Israeli authorities then destroyed all the other towns and villages and started to build settlements.[3]
