There have been timezone differences in the years 1967 - 1974 between Israel and Syria. Therefore, Asia/Quneitra would merit its own zone
I'm afraid that one is a bit beyond our powers. Due to the wars at the time, Quneitra was largely deserted during the 1970-1974 period that would otherwise qualify it as a tzdb entry. It would be impractical for us to obtain reliable evidence of civil (as opposed to military or paramilitary) timekeeping there during the period, even assuming there was civil timekeeping at all. I'd rather let this sleeping dog lie.
