Rebel forces in Syria have threatened to retake the land, that Israel captured in 1967, and that Syria surrendered in 1974.
The Syrian government has mostly lost control of their area near the Heights, but hasn't given up on them yet.
On Wednesday, rebels captured twenty-one UN peacekeepers, who were in the Golan Heights, and held them hostage until Saturday.
The UN has a thousand strong force of peacekeepers between Israel and Syria, to try and enforce peace.
