Answer
Quneitra is considered a largely destroyed city because of the war destruction. During the Yom Kippur War, the city was heavily damaged by Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire. In the aftermath of the war, most of the city's inhabitants fled, and it was largely abandoned. Today, Quneitra is a ghost town, with only a few hundred residents. The city's ruins are a reminder of the destruction caused by war.
