Tel Faher*
*
*
Date: June 9, 1967*
*
Battle Location: Tel Faher Hill, Golan Heights*
*
Battle Type: Israel assault vs Syria defend*
*
*
Description: Early in the attack on the Golan Heights during the 1967 war the 12th Battalion “Barak” of the Israeli Golani brigade assaulted the fortified Syrian company position at the dominating Tel Faher feature.*
*
Originally the Israelis had intended to move around the enemy position to attack it from the rear, as it was assumed the Syrians would not have mined that route and defences were less elaborate. The leading Israelis units did however get lost and the assault was mounted on the front of the Syrian defences, where it was the strongest. Despite repeated air attacks the Syrian fortifications remained intact, but had seemingly disorganised their command.*
*
Notes: If  played against the AI the human player should take the Israeli side.*
