As the Syrian offensive drove deep into the Golan Heights, the Israeli Army launched several hurried counter-attacks to drive back the Syrians. In one such assault, the Peled Armored Division struck at the Syrian 5th Mechanized Division near El Al. However, the Syrians were entrenched and supported with ATGM's and T-55.  Soon a wild melee of tanks and missile fire ensued.
