How the syrian offensive of 1973 would play out?

I began to read about the Yom Kippur war, and I found this on the internet:

"The Syrians prepared for a massive counteroffensive to drive Israeli forces out of Syria, scheduled for October 23. A total of five Syrian divisions were to take part, alongside the Iraqi and Jordanian expeditionary forces. The Soviets had replaced most of the losses Syria's tank forces had suffered during the first weeks of the war."

But this offensive was cancelled because of the peace treaty

My question is: what if Eu didn't imposed the cease fire yet, how would this offensive play out?

The Syrians as time went on were less and less able to fight the Israelis with any degree of parity, as their initial surprise benefit was lost. Remember, the tanks may have been replaced, but they may not have had the spare parts for them (the Syrians had logistical difficulties in the Golan Heights early on as well), and without spare parts, the offensive wouldn't get much done. The tank crews however were not replaced and could not be replaced without Soviet direct intervention.

This isn't even taking into account Jordan's conduct during the war, which was lazy at best.
