Which Arab country lost the Golan Heights region in the 1967 ArabIsraeli war?
Syria
When did latest war between Israel and Syria happen?
The last war between Israeli and Syrian forces was during the Israeli intervention in the Lebanese Civil War, from 1981-1982. The last war that directly pitted Syria and Israel against each other along their mutually shared border was during the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, which the Israelis call the Yom Kippur War and which the Syrians call the Ramadan War or the October War.
Why are Syria and Israel fighting for territory?
Syria and Israel are not fighting for territory, and at the present time (May 2011), are not fighting at all. (The Syrian government has other, internal, things to worry about right now.) The last direct conflict between Israel and Syria took place in 1973, and the last time any territory passed from one to the other was in 1967. Israeli forces captured the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967. That area was of interest to Israel because it had become such a popular spot from which to launch rockets and artillery upon Israeli farms in the valley below. That kind of behavior has been drastically reduced since Syria was denied access to the Golan in 1967. During the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Israeli forces penetrated to within 40 km of Damascus (that's the capital of Syria), but took no additional territory. Syria has been content with supplying and supporting its surrogates in Lebanon since then, and neither Israel nor Syria has conducted any operations across their mutual border since 1973.
Which country joined Egypt in attacking Israel?
It depends on the war in question:During the Arab-Israeli War of 1948: Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq joined Egypt.During the Arab-Israeli War of 1967: Syria and Jordan joined Egypt.During the War of Attrition of 1967-1970: The USSR joined Egypt.During the Arab-Israeli War of 1973: Syria joined Egypt.Since 1979, Egypt and Israel have been at peace.(Note that Egypt was on the defensive during the Arab-Israeli War of 1956, so it had no countries join it in attack.)
Where did the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 take place?
On Yom Kippur in 1973 Egyptian forces attacked the Bar-Lev line( set up by the Israeli army after the conquest of the Sinai peninsula by Israel in 1967). The Egyptians had initial success but were eventually pushed back by Israeli forces led by General Sharon. At the time of the UN mandated cease fire the Israeli army had crossed the Suez canal and were on the Eastern shore of the Suez canal.
Who did Syria side with in the Arab-Israeli Conflict?
Syria has historically aligned with the Arab States against Israel. Syria has had an extensive role in the Arab-Israeli Conflict, always supporting its fellow Arab allies in wars. The first war in the Arab-Israeli Conflict that Syria committed to was the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 where it signed an armistice and held on to five square kilometers of the former Mandate of Palestine on the southeast coast of the Sea of Galilee. During this period, many Palestinian Refugees came to Syria where they were shuttered in Refugee Camps. Most still remain in there to this day. Between 1949 and 1967, the Syrians and Israelis were in a de jure state of non-combat, but periodically, the Syrians would rain rockets down on Israeli villages in the Eastern Galilee region of Israel. Israel was incapable of properly responding as Syria held the high ground. Syria did not participate in the Arab-Israeli War of 1956 in which the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula was invaded. In 1967, Syria joined the Six Day War on the third day making some small gains in the Eastern Galilee. However, Israeli troops quickly reversed these gains and captured the Golan Heights, the Syrian territory bordering the Eastern Galilee Region of Israel. Syria signed UN Resolution 242 ending the skirmish, but determined with other Arab Nations not to give in to negotiating with Israel. Additional Palestinian Refugees came to Syria in this period as well as Syrian Nationals fleeing from the Israeli Army. In the late '60s and early '70s, Syria coordinated defense with Egypt and the two jointly launched a surprise attack on Israel in 1973. While the two allies made impressive gains in the first week of the war, Israel appeared to be winning towards the end of the month and Israeli tanks were advancing to Damascus when the ceasefire was called and the antebellum situation restored. The next confrontation between Syrian and Israeli forces would come by way of the Lebanese Civil War. The Syrians buttressed the Shiite Militant Factions and Hezbollah while the Israelis fought alongside the Maronite Christian Falangists. When it seemed the war was resolving in Syria's favor, Israeli forces withdrew to the Litani River and Syria occupied Lebanon until 2005. Syria and Israel have had no further direct confrontations, but Syria continues to provide much of the funding for Hezbollah, which did enter a confrontation with Israel in 2006 in Lebanon again. Syria has continued to refuse to make peace with the nation that still holds the Golan Heights, and that opposes the Palestinian independent State without a guarantee of its own security.
What was the Arab sponsored restriction on energy exports during the 1973 Egypt-Syria-Israel war?
The Arab Oil Embargo was initiated to draw the attention of the World and especially the United States to the Israeli aggression and the occupation of the Arab lands in Egypt and Syria.
How has Syria been involved in the Arab-Israeli Conflict?

Were there wars fought in Syria for land?
Certainly, but the most recent was the Arab-Israeli War of 1973.
Are Syria and Israel fighting?
Syria and Israel are in a de jure state of war, since the Syrian declaration of war with Israel in 1948 was never supplemented by a peace treaty. However, Syrian and Israeli forces have not engaged militarily since the Lebanese Civil War in the early 1980s. Syria currently is engaged in a civil war and has more important things to worry about than Israel.
Which two nations have been directly involved with the three major Arab-Israeli wars?
Egypt and Syria
Who was fighting with israel in the 1973 war?
It is quite clear that the Syrian front in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 was an Israeli victory. The Syrians made only minor gains in the early days of the war, but Israelis turned those around and a ceasefire was signed with Israeli tanks in sight of Damascus. There is some debate on whether the Egyptian front was an Israeli or Egyptian victory, but this debate does not carry to the Syrian front.
