Shayta, also spelled Suhayta, S'heita or Su’heita, was a Syrian village located in the Golan Heights.[1] It was one of only six Syrian villages in the Golan Heights still populated following the Six-Day War.[2] After Israel occupied the area in 1967, Shayta's population census was 176 people, down from 200 in 1960.[3] In 1967, Shayta was partially destroyed and a military post built in its place.[2] Israel completely destroyed the village in 1971-72 and its population was forcibly transferred to the neighboring village of Mas'ade.[2][4] Today, its former inhabitants are still campaigning for the return to their village.[2] Shayta was located near the ceasefire line between Syrian and Israeli forces.[1][4]
