Overview of your Jerusalem tour:

A place of tremendous beauty & conflict that covers an area of 1800 sq kilometers. During the Israelite conquest it was part of the tribal allotment of Menasseh. Occupied by later invading powers, it was recaptured by the Hamoneans in the 1st century B. C. E. The Jewish population participated in the revolt againts the Romans paying a heavy price for doing so. After the destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 C. E. many Jews continued to live on the Golan heights until the end of the Byzantine period in 638 C. E. Ethnically cleansed of Jews during the early Arab period (638-1099 C. E) it remained desolate & sparsley populated by Bedouin's. After WW1 it was included in the French mandate of Syria. The Syrians occupied the heights until their recapture in the the 1967 six day war. During the 1973 Yom Kippur war the heights had to be defended againts attempted Syrian incursions. Today the heights are home to 40 000 people, half of whom are Jews & the remaining half comprising of Druze & a small Alawite community.
