In a detailed presentation, does not deny Voglman for voluntary displacement of the population of the Golan Heights during the war, but he points out that it does not include the whole population. He cites in this context, certificates of Israeli soldiers and officers involved in the war, to the effect that a good number of Syrian citizens remain in parts of the plateau during the war. He quotes a leader of the army as saying that the villagers in the Golan Heights came out of their homes to avoid the bombing, and waited in the vicinity of villages in order to return to their homes after the fighting. The officer, who participated in the occupation of the West Bank during the war, «This is the behavior that we faced in the northern West Bank, was very common. People are fleeing from their homes but remain at a distance that allows them to see their village to monitor the evolution of things ».
Stressing Voglman to other military, took their statements, agree on the validity of what the officer back to draw that, according to statistics Syrian relations, which took place in the aftermath of the war, the number of displaced from the Golan Heights about fifty thousand, which means that the number of those expelled and forcibly displaced after the war more than seventy thousand Syrian citizen.
And how the policy of «transfer», the writer tells that the military commander for the region, Colonel Shmuel Edmond, issued on June 16, 1967, four days after the end of the war, an order declaring the Golan a closed military zone to prevent the entry or exit of any person to and from it without permission his special, under penalty of exclusion sentenced to 5 years.
Thus, restricted the movement of Syrian citizens, and impossible to enter their villages after the occupation began to object to their return, and shoot and capture anyone who tries to enter the Golan Heights.
According to the writer himself, the documentation for the military government for that period show how they had been arrested dozens of people every day who tried to return to their homes, reported that, when brought to trial in Kenitra, they came to take their belongings, but they expelled all ».
Israeli journalists and historians accommodated the official version so as not to be regarded by «left-wing historians»

And moves Voglman for Elad Peled, commander of the military band of 36, which took over the responsibility of the Golan during the period of ten days after the war, that the special units of the army's mission was to «clean» the area of its Arab population. According to «Haaretz», the «about 20 thousand citizens who remained in the Golan Heights in the early days of the war, but deserted and fled when they saw the bulldozers destroy the villages, they did not have anywhere to go back to».
Stresses Rsky Zvi, who was the leader of one of the sectors within the military Golan shortly after the war, what he said Peled. He says in this context, «We burst homes immediately after the fighting, in almost every place in which we managed it». And tells the other soldiers because they see the local people to cultivate their fields in the weeks that followed the war, and they were asking them to leave the place toward the inside Syria, and they take them to Kenitra. And so did not stay until the end of the summer of 1967, residents across the Syrian Golan, to the Commander of the region, on August 27, is classified by a hundred villages and a village in the Golan Heights in the box is obsolete and forbidden entry to the scope ».
