Six Day War 1967 - Syrian military, 2 ID cards - Above is a Syrian military ID card. It pictures Ali Suleiman and gives his physical description, including blood type. He was born in 1945 and was likely a young recruit in the 1967 war. It is issued by the Syr-ian Arab Republic. The I.D. card and photo are laminated. Some 2500 Syrians soldiers died in the Golan Heights battle with twice that number wounded. Below is another Syrian military ID card. His name is Mahmoud Sa'id Shahid and he was born in 1948. We see his photo, physical particulars, the Syrian coat of arms, and an elongated flag diagonally. 'Shahid' means 'martyr' and is often used to describe those who have given their lives for religious and ideological causes, including military expansion of Islam. On this card the country is identified as the United Syrian Republic, a name which they have used since breaking away from a union with Egypt in the 1960s. Very good condition. 6x9 cm. Item from the collections of Jacob Yablok - VirtualJewishmuseum.com. The item is placed in a quality proactive nylon sleeve and can be easily and safely taken out from the display page. Displayed on a thin cardboard sheet with an explanation on the background of Israel's flag.
