The Golan Subdistrict is an area administered by Israel as a subdistrict of the Northern District. The subdistrict encompasses the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel from Syria since the 1967 Six-Day War and annexed under the Golan Heights Law. The region is internationally recognized to encompass Syria's Quneitra Governorate, which itself is composed of two districts and five subdistricts.
