Damascus, SANA – The Syrian Armed Forces celebrated the 42nd anniversary of October Liberation War on Tuesday through performing military shows and exercises at a number of military units and facilities.
Military commanders and leaders, who attended the
celebrations, stressed that October War was a turning point and a brilliant page in the history of Syria and the Arab Nation “as it restored dignity to the Arabs…and shattered the myth of the invincible Zionist army.”
October War refers to the Arab-Israeli War that was fought by the coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against the Israeli occupation enemy from October 6 to 25, 1973. Back then, the Syrian armed forces managed to take an area back
from the Israeli forces that had advanced on the Golan.
The army commanders said the heroism shown during October War is also strongly present today, with the Syrian army making great achievements in the
battlefield fighting the terrorists.
