Yes and No. The Golan Heights is part of Syrian Sovereign Territory, but has been under legal Israeli Occupation since 1967. This occupation is due to UNSC Resolutions 242 and 338/339 which hold that Israel can occupy the Golan Heights until Syria and Israel sign a formal peace treaty. Currently Syrians cannot go to the Golan Heights as a result of the Israeli Occupation.

∙ 10y agoThe Golan Heights is a large portion of the Syrian province of Quneitira which forms the southernmost edge of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. However, as a result of the Six Day War of 1967, the Golan Heights fell under legal Israeli occupation (pursuant to UNSC Resolution 242) until such time as Israel and Syria could come to a peace agreement. In 1981, Israel illegally annexed the Golan Heights to its Northern Province. It remains under Israeli control.
However, aside from the Golan Heights, which is less than 1% of all of Syria, Israel does not occupy any Syrian land.

Who was given Golan Heights in 1981?
Nobody was "given" the Golan Heights in 1981. Israel conquered the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and repelled a Syrian invasion to retake the Golan Heights in 1973. By the end of the Arab-Israeli population of 1973, the Arab population of the Golan Heights and its strategic value was immense. Therefore, in 1981, Prime Minister Menachem Begin decided to annex the territory of the Golan Heights to the Israel. This has been seen by most international observers as a violation of UNSC Resolution 242 and 338 which requires that Israel return the Golan Heights to Syria in exchange for peace, not to acquire it. Israel has responded by saying that it fully intends to return the territory to Syria should a peace treaty be struck, but it sees no reason why it has to leave the Golan Heights under military administration pending such a resolution as opposed to a civilian one.
