I believe the record shows that there has been no treaty between Syria and Israel. To what treaty are you referring?

They weren't moved from high ground, and they didn't lose their effectiveness. If they where not removed from the Golan hights then they came under the control of the Israeli army when Israel took over the Golan. My guess is this would mean that they would no longer be sued to shell Israel. No, Egypt won. They could have met the Syrian troops halfway, but the US called a halt to the affair. What are you smoking? The Arabs had a lot of sucess early on but by the time a halt had been called Israel had pushed them back and even had a presence on the West Bank of the Suez. It was Israel that withdrew under US pressure not Egypt and Syria. multied.com factmonster.com . . The October 1973 War (known in Israel as the Yom Kippur War and in the Arab world as the Ramadan War) developed rapidly, and the coordinated Egyptian-Syrian offensive caught Israel by surprise. On September 28, Palestinian guerrillas detained an Austrian train carrying Soviet Jews en route to Israel. Subsequent Egyptian and Syrian military deployments were interpreted by Israel as defensive actions in anticipation of Israeli reprisals. For one week, Israel postponed mobilizing its troops. Not until the morning of Yom Kippur (October 6), about six hours before the Arab offensive, were Israeli officials convinced that war was imminent; a mobilization of the reserves was then ordered. In the early days of the war, the IDF suffered heavy losses as Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal and overran Israeli strongholds, while Syrians marched deep into the Golan Heights. Israel launched its counteroffensive first against the Syrian front, and only when it had pushed the Syrians back well east of the 1967 cease-fire line (by October 15) did Israel turn its attention to the Egyptian front. In ten days of fighting, Israel pushed the Egyptian army back across the canal, and the IDF made deep incursions into Egypt. On October 24, with Israeli soldiers about one kilometer from the main Cairo-Ismailia highway and the Soviet Union threatening direct military intervention, the UN imposed a cease-fire. onwar.com
