A feature of the Israeli/Syrian General Armistice Agreement (GAA) was the provision for the establishment of a special DMZ between the countries. The DMZ established by the GAA between Israel and Syria was "defined with a view toward separating the armed forces of the two parties in such manner as to minimize the possibility of friction and incident, while providing for the gradual restoration of normal civilian life in the area of the DMZ, without prejudice to the ultimate settlement."

| - A feature of the Israeli/Syrian General Armistice Agreement (GAA) was the provision for the establishment of a special DMZ between the countries. The DMZ established by the GAA between Israel and Syria was "defined with a view toward separating the armed forces of the two parties in such manner as to minimize the possibility of friction and incident, while providing for the gradual restoration of normal civilian life in the area of the DMZ, without prejudice to the ultimate settlement." This provision had to be made because of the divergent viewpoints of the two parties during the armistice negotiations as to the sovereignty of the areas within the boundaries of the former British Mandated Territory which had been occupied by Syrian troops. A Compromise agreement was finally reached under which the disputed areas were to be completely demilitarised. The armistice demarcation lines between Syria and Israel outside of the DMZ coincided with the international boundary. The Israeli/Syrian DMZ comprised 250 square kilometres of land, divided into three areas, to the east and to the North-East of Lake Galilee. Under the provisions of the GAA the Chairman of the Israeli-Syrian Mixed Armistice Commission (ISMAC) was given responsibility for the “gradual restoration of normal civilian life in the area” and it was his task to authorize the “return of civilians to villages and settlements in the DMZ”. The chairman of the Israel/Syrian Mixed Armistice Commission was given duties and powers in addition to those held by the chairman of the other three Mixed Armistice Commissions.
