War of Attrition in the Bashan Salient

The War of Attrition in the Bashan Salient was an armed conflict between Israel and Syria in the Bashan Salient from March through May 1974. The region was conquered by the Israeli army (IDF) at the end of the Yom Kippur War in October 1973, and held by Israeli forces until the signing of the disengagement agreement on May 31, 1974, that saw the evacuation of all Israeli forces and the Bashan Salient returned to Syria.
