The Syrian artillery positions were virtually unmoved as a result of the 1967 war, and their capabilities were unchanged.

They don't have to move many miles to reduce their effectiveness if they are being moved from the high ground.

No, Camp David proves that Israel only understands the language of force. Israel rejected the Camp David terms in 1971, because they felt they had the military power to hold on to the Sinai. When Egypt proved in 1973 that it could go toe to toe with Israel, Israel capitulated at the negotiating table

Egypt fought the 73 war under very favorable circumstances and they still lost.

Also the military domience needed to defend against Egypt if Israel holds the Sinai is less that that which is needed to defend Israel without the Sinai. No one can count on a peace treaty lasting forever, if Israel saw Egypt as being close to a military equal it would have most likely been less likely to give up the Sinai.
