The Valley of Tears. Golan Heights, Israël 2018
‘The Valley of Tears (Hebrew: עֵמֶק הַבָּכָא‎, Emek HaBakha) is the name given to an area in the Golan Heights after it became the site of a major battle in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, known as the Valley (or Vale) of Tears Battle, which was fought between the 6th and 9th of October. Although massively outnumbered, the Israeli forces managed to hold their positions and on the fourth day of the battle the Syrians withdrew, just as the Israeli defenses were almost at the point of collapse.’ Bron: Wikipedia.
