Many Jews continued to live on the Golan Heights until the end of the Byzantine period in 638 C.E. Ethnically cleansed of Jews during the early Arab period (638–1099 C.E.), it remained desolate and sparsely populated by Bedouins. After WW1, it was included in the French mandate for Syria. The Syrians occupied the heights until their recapture in the 1967 six-day war. During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the heights had to be defended against attempted Syrian incursions. Today, the heights are home to 40 000 people, 50% of whom are Jews, the remainder being Druze, and a small Alawite community.
