The Golan Heights is administered by the Israeli government due to UNSC Resolutions 242 & 338/339 - the armistices of 1967 and 1973 between Israel and Syria among others. However, the annexation of the Golan Heights to Israel and its incorporation into the Northern District of Israel in 1981 is considered illegal in international law.
After the ceasefire from the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, there was still violence between Israel and Syria. This resulted in UNSC Resolution 350 which created a strip of land to separate the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights and Syria. This strip was and remains occupied by the United Nations and is patrolled by the UNDOF (United Nations Disengagement Observer Force). No civilians live in this thin strip of land.

What is a golan height?
The Golan Heights is a mountainous region in northern Israel. There is no single form and the Golan Heights are not units of measurements. It was captured by Syria in 1967 and formally annexed in 1981 but the UN doesn't recognize the annexation.
What land is owned by Israel and also by Syria?
The Golan Heights. The majority of the Syrian Quneitra Governate is under Israeli Occupation as a result of the Six-Day War and UN Resolution 242. In 1981, Israel annexed this territory, which is now called the Golan Heights. The Israeli annexation is not recognized by any international authority. According to UN Resolution 242, Syria has the right to take the Golan Heights back in return for a lasting peace treaty.
Which region is hotly contested by Israel and Syria?
The Golan Heights. Syria wants it because it was part of Syria from the UN partition in 1948 until Israel took control of it in the 6-day war in 1967. Israel wants to hold onto control of it because when Syria controls it, the Syrians have this nasty habit of lobbing heavy artillery from the Golan down onto the farms, kibbutzim, and towns in the valley which the Heights overlook. Realizing that somebody could potentially get hurt like that, Israel has been holding onto the region until some kind of treaty or other agreement can somehow bring some degree of safety for its citizens in the neighborhood. At that point, who knows ? The Golan could conceivably be on the table, just as the whole Sinai Peninsula ... many times the territory of the Golan ... was returned to Egypt after Egypt and Israel joined in a peace treaty.
What territories has not been occupied by Israel the Gaza Strip Golan Heights Lebanon or the West Bank?
AnswerNone of those (Lebanon was occupied from 1978-2000). -- In other words, all four regions (Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, Lebanon, and the West Bank) were occupied.Clarification on AnswerYes, I remember when it happened. I remember Israeli armor pushing aside UN personnel to invade and occupy the SOUTHERNpart of Lebanon, but I never heard anything about Israel occupying the entire country of Lebanon. Also, unless I am terribly mistaken, the Gaza Strip was acquired from Egypt in the Six Day War.CommentaryAs noted, Lebanon (as an entirety) was not occupied by Israel whereas the entirety of the Gaza Strip (1967-1993), Golan Heights (1967-Present), and the West Bank (1967-1993) during the specified time periods. (Parts of Gaza were still occupied until 2005 and parts of the West Bank are still occupied presently.) The area of Lebanon occupied was all territory within 20 miles of the Israeli border or the Lebanese-Golan Border.

Is Israel occupying land illegally?
Answer 1No, of course not. Israel became a legal nation on May 14, 1948.Answer 2Long Answer: In terms of international law, Israel is fully legitimate in its control of all territories acquired according to the armistices of 1949 pending a full and final border resolution through peace treaties. However, the areas of the West Bank and the Golan Heights (including East Jerusalem and the Eastern border of the Sea of Galilee) are areas that Israel holds pursuant to UN Resolution 242. According to this Resolution, Israel is allowed to administer, but not own the territories until a final resolution is reached. Israeli laws such as the Jerusalem Unification Act in 1980 and the Annexation of the Golan Heights in 1981 violate this standing in international law and may be seen as foreign occupation. Additionally, the numerous Israeli-built settlements in the West Bank are also a form of occupation contrary to the intent of UN Resolution 242.Short Answer: Most of Israel's land belongs to it legally, but there are some areas under Israeli control that are considered to be occupied illegally.

What country lost territory to Israel?
Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and (depending on your definition of country) Palestine have all lost territory to Israel. Jordan: Admittedly all of the taken Jordanian territory was itself territory taken from the British Mandate of Palestine (and not part of the land granted to Hashemite Kings by the British). Egypt: The Egyptian territory taken in the Sinai has been subsequently returned to Egypt on two different occasions (1956-1956, 1967-1982). Syria: Syria has lost the eastern bank of the Sea of Galilee (part of the British Mandate of Palestine) and the Golan Heights (part of the French Mandate of Syria) to Israel and these territories have not been returned. Officially (according to the UN), the Shebaa Farms in the Golan Heights is Lebanese territory (controlled by Israel) but the Lebanese government considers that territory to be Syrian. Palestine: Israel overran Gaza and the West Bank in 1967 and retained them as Occupied Territories. In 1993, Israel devolved parts of the Gaza Strip and West Bank to the Palestinian Authority and in 2005 ceded the remainder of the Gaza Strip to that government. The West Bank has remained a smattering of Palestinian and Israeli military control while Gaza is under complete Palestinian control (currently exercised by Hamas). Lebanon: Southern Lebanon (south of the Litani River) was occupied by Israeli forces from 1982-2000, but was never considered to have become Israeli territory by the Lebanese or the Israelis the way that the other territories have been considered.
