An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/B4TOlq-_c7s-mhYZ3G83hQ==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The inhabitants of Majdal Shams hold Syrian citizenship.

A year after Israel annexed the Golan, a six-month non-violent general strike was launched on April 14, 1982, in which Majdal Shams played a notable role. The Arabic name Majdal Shams is adapted from an Aramaic name meaning "tower of the sun".

abstract	The inhabitants of Majdal Shams hold Syrian citizenship. For this reason they are not drafted into the Israeli army (although a minority serve voluntarily) and many travel to Syria regularly to visit family or receive university degrees in Damascus. A year after Israel annexed the Golan, a six-month non-violent general strike was launched on April 14, 1982, in which Majdal Shams played a notable role. One kilometer east of the town center, on the other side of the valley, is the Shouting Hill (hebr. גבעת צעקות), where Majdal Shams' Druze line up with bullhorns to make small-talk with relatives on the Syrian side. The busiest time seems to be Friday and Saturday afternoons. The Arabic name Majdal Shams is adapted from an Aramaic name meaning "tower of the sun".
