The first stage of the 1948 War started following the ratification of UN Resolution 181 on 29 November 1947, which granted Israel the mandate to declare independence. However, Syria made a small territorial gain and certain actions were criticized within Israel, such as the retreat from Masada and Sha'ar HaGolan. The campaign was perceived as a decisive Israeli victory, causing reorganizations in the Syrian high command and the birth of heroic tales in Israel. After reaching a stalemate, they retreated to their initial position in Tel al-Qasr, where they remained until the end of the war. The attack on Degania Alef was a failure, after which the Syrian forces attempted to capture Degania Bet. On 18 May, Syria attacked the Israeli forward position in Samakh (Tzemah), and on 20 May attacked Degania Alef and occupied Masada and Sha'ar HaGolan. This was the first military engagement between Israel and Syria. The battles took place approximately 24 hours after the Israeli declaration of independence, when Syria shelled Ein Gev on the night of 15–16 May. The engagements were part of the battles of the Jordan Valley, which also saw fighting against Transjordan in the area of Gesher. It includes two main sites: the Battle of Degania– Samakh (Tzemah), and battles near Masada– Sha'ar HaGolan.
