As-Summaqah
As-Summaqah, Sumaqa or Samaqa (Arabic: اﻟﺴﻤﺎﻗﺔ or ﺳﻤﺎﻗﺔ), is a former Syrian village located in the Golan Heights.
History
The settlement has been inhabited intermittent throughout history. It has remains from the Early Bronze Age II or III, Iron Age I, Roman, Mamluk and Ottoman periods. The Mamluks produced grape honey in the village.
In the 15-16 century, the al-Fadl tribe left northeastern Syria after an internal conflict. When they arrived in the Golan Heights they settled in several villages in the area including Summaqah. They worked with agriculture and livestock. This continued till after the French Mandate.
After Israel occupied the area in the Six-Day War, they began destroying Syrian villages in the Golan Heights. Summaqah was destroyed in 1967. The population before the war was 150.
