adminwhat Israel called a challenge to its sovereignty. Syrian staterun media said 14 were killed.
“Anyone who tries to cross the border will be killed,” Israeli soldiers shouted through loudspeakers at the crowd of several hundred on the Israelioccupied Golan Heights who rallied to a Facebook call to march to the frontier on the 44th anniversary of the Arab defeat in the 1967 Middle East war. Israel captured Syria’s Golan Heights, as well as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip where Palestinians want to establish a state, in that conflict.
Israeli officials have said Syrian President Bashar alAssad has given the green light for the Golan protests to try to divert international attention from his bloody quashing of the popular revolt against his authoritarian rule. The border protests by unarmed demonstrators have raised Israeli concerns that Palestinians, inspired by popular revolts in the Arab world, have adopted a new tactic calculated to draw a violent response and boost world sympathy for their cause. – AFP.
