The 9th Armoured Division (Arabic: الفرقة التاسعة المدرعة‎) is a division of the Syrian Army, established after 1970. As the 9th Infantry Division, it was heavily engaged during the 1973 October War, and in the Valley of Tears. In April 1976, it was announced by Kamal Junblatt, leader of the Lebanese National Movement, that the 91st Armoured Brigade had entered Lebanon. This was in addition to other Syrian forces that had entered previously. The 9th Armored Division served in the 1991 Gulf War as the Arab Joint Forces Command North reserve and saw little action. * Battle of Harasta (2017–2018)
