More about the place
Tel Saki is a small volcanic hill in the southern Golan Heights, about 400 meters east of Route 98 and roughly 3 km north of Ramat Magshimim. On Yom Kippur 1973, paratroopers and armored corps soldiers were surrounded on the hill by Syrian forces, and 26 of them held out until they were rescued on October 8. In the battles on and around the hill, 32 fighters fell, and today the soldiers' bunker houses a memorial room where a movie about the battle is screened. A monument to the fallen also stands on the hill, dedicated in 2012.
