EMEK HABAHA
When the Syrians made their assault on the Golan, they had two main areas in which they attempted to break the Israeli lines. In the southern Golan, the Syrians reached the pre-1967 lines, but were halted due to logistic problems and lack of orders for the rest of the campaign (they did not expect to get so far...). This allowed Israeli reserves to reach the area and push the Syrians back. But in the northern Golan, near the Syrian city of Kunetra, The Syrian never broke the lines. This achievement, Which allowed the reserves to use all their force in the southern Golan, was achieved by the blood of many of the soldiers of the Elite 7th armored brigade and specifically those of the 77th bettalion.

Emek Habaha After the war.
When the North Command realized that the Syrian will try to sweep down from Kunetra and reinforce their forces in the southern effort, It was decided to deploy the 7th brigade close by to the border near Kunetra. The Brigades commander decided to mange a defensive battle using his long Line of Sight and tank ramps.  Between the 6th-8th of October the 7th brigade stopped several Syrian offensive, using small reserves to stop any dangerous situation. The brigade was outnumbered at all times. After 4 days and 3 nights of constant fighting, the Syrians made one last and powerful attempt to break the Israeli lines. They put in 170 more tanks from their reserves and reached a 6:1 tank ratio over the Israeli 7th Brigade, which at point had only 43 operational tanks. The Syrians used their Crushing superiority in noubers and artillery, and managed to reach the Israeli lines, battling the tired and outnumbered Israelis at close ranges. The Syrians were at ranges of a few dozen feet. It was hard to attempt tactical maneuvering, since there was little room not filled by burning tanks, operational tanks or Anti Tank obstacles. The 7th Brigade's men were now left only with their courage and tenacity, knowing that if the Syrians pass they will sweep into the Golan and maybe even down into the Galilee. The Brigade was on the verge of braking when Avigdor Kahlani, commander of the 77th bettalion, rallied what was left of the forces, and together with a small force from the Baraq brigade, went on the counter-offensive. The Syrians, who were at the verge of victory, were taken off balance and pushed back. After a hard fight the Valley near Kunetra was littered with the remains of hundreds of Syrian tanks and other vehicles. From then on it was known as Emek Habaha, or the Syrian Army's Valley of Tears.
