So I'm reading The Yom Kippur War, by Simon Dunstan, and I noticed that if it weren't for the timely arrival of an Iraqi armoured force on the battlefield in Syria to basically waste the Israelis' time while they were being chewed up, Syrian and Jordanian forces could not have arrived in time to beat Israeli armour to Damascus during their counterattack out of the Golan.
So...what if the Iraqis hadn't been there, and the ugda had been able to drive to Damascus? Israel never liked giving things back, but I can't see them holding the Syrian capital for long.
