Perhaps somebody will find it useful... There's a good article describing the battle from Israeli perspective here: http://www.waronline.org/IDF/Articles/sultan-yakub.htm . The article is in Russian. Bukvoed 13:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revision Anyone?

This is a pretty badly written article. It would be nice if someone with more substantial knowledge and better writing skills revised or made additions to the article. --68.161.168.139 22:12, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The article is not well-sourced and the one reference that is being used (the Syrian Tank Hunters article by Tom Cooper of the Air Combat Information Group website) is, in my opinion, unreliable and itself contains alot of evidence that has not been independently verified by any one else, government or private. This article is more like hearsay to me.WikiphyteMk1 (talk) 12:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

rewrite

I completely rewrote this because the whole thing had been copied directly from ACIG. I still used ACIG as an important source here because while I doubt a few of the claims made most of the article checks out perfectly with what two American military officers wrote. The units mentioned there correspond exactly to the OOB given in the American sources as do the locations and times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abu America (talk • contribs) 05:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

source???

" The three soldiers were captured by Lebanese Hezbollah and were paraded through Damascus held on top of their captured tank" What a non-sense??? The soldiers have never been seen after the battle. Various Lebanese organizations were until recently in a search for their bodies in the battle area, with the intent of further exchange deal with Israel. Hizbollah didn't officially exist during that war! The battle was between the Israeli and the Syrian armies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.89.100.98 (talk) 11:09, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Laughable propaganda

I have family who were part of this battle: Syria did not lose a single tank. Russian observers noted Syria's exceptional tank command tactics alongside helicopter support, whereas Israel lost 160 tanks in this battle. In fact, due to the tactics of pushing forward and then backwards, the Israelis didn't even get to see the Syrian tanks. This is not reflected at all by the figures given. Believe me, losing 2000 soldiers would be a disaster for Syria and everyone would have mourned them, but I know for a fact that only TWO soldiers died in this battle. That means the Israelis are exagerrating by a huge margin.

There's no point editing it, because a zionist will of course change it back to the lie, they are a revisionist bunch.
