The Israeli Army went on the counter-offensive in the Golan Heights. Soon the Syrian Army was being driven back from the hard won heights and into Syria itself. In an attempt to assist their ally, the Iraqis sent the 12th Armored Brigade. Alerted by their Intelligence, the Israeli 19th Armored Brigade set up an ambush at Tel Maschara.
