Aftermath
The IDF had achieved most of its goals of Operation Hammer even with heavy casualties. They penetrated no deeper than 8 miles into Syrian territory, but established a five mile wide bridgehead between Zaura and Qela. They used the night of 9/10 June to regroup and resupply its forces.
At the same time the Syrian Government was pleading its Arab brothers for military support, but not surprising no assistance was coming. Syria realized that they stood now alone against a powerful and vengeful IDF.
The Golan Heights had fallen in just 31 hours.
"As the smoke subsided, thousands of Galilee settlers, climbed out of their shelters. For the first time in nearly 20 years they could look up at the Golan Heights with pride instead of fear."
