We were young and flushed with the zeal of a mission, when we, the troops of the 77th Regiment of the 7th Brigade, ascended into the Golan Heights under the cover .)of darkness )on September 1973 The Sea of Galilee lay before us like a turquoise eye peering through the carpet of .fields and settlements in the valley.In the background, the Galilee mountain range towered above us.The valley slept – the residents peaceful and safe. There was no tension in the air
