GOLAN HEIGHTS, ISRAEL - OCTOBER 11: (FILE PHOTO) An Israeli tank patrols a stretch of the northern border October 11, 1973 on the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, then an army general, refused to rule out another surprise attack similar to the one launched by the Arab armies when they struck against Israeli troops in the Sinai Desert and Golan Heights on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar on October 6, 1973.
