Prohibited Locations Around The World, Quneitra, Syria

Quneitra is a town on the heights Golan in southwestern Syria. In the wake of the Six-Day War between Israel and Arab states. The city was on 10 June 1967 occupied by the Israelis.

In June 1974, after the Yom Kippur War, the Israeli army withdrew from Quneitra.The city fell for the Syrians as a pile of rubble in their hands.

Before 1967, almost 30,000 people lived here. Today became Quneitra a mine ghost town that is not rebuilt by the Syrians.


Because of that became this city  as an example of the cruelty of the Israelis. Quneitra is currently controlled by the United Nations observers force and Syrian police strip.






The city lies on the border to the Israeli-occupied Golan.It may only be visited with special permission and be accompanied of Syrian security personnel.
