El-Ahmediye (Arabic: الاحمدية, romanized: Al-Ahmadiyah) also known as el-Hamediyeh or Ammudiya, is a former Syrian village in the central Golan Heights, 15 kilometers southeast of Lake Hula.
[citation needed] In 1596, Al-Ahmadiyah appeared in the Ottoman tax registers as al-Amudiyya; part of the nahiya of Butayha in the Sanjak of Hauran.

"[8] Schumacher noted in 1884[3] that the village, poorly built, was inhabited by some 70 Turkomans living in twelve hut-like houses.

[10] During the Yom Kippur War, in October 1973, al-Ahmadiyah was one of three places where the Syrian Army launched major drives against as their forces moved across the Golan's mountainous plains.
