Israeli military officials are saying only that troops fired warning shots at the infiltrators. But Channel 2 TV says four people were killed in Sunday’s incident.
Israel’s national rescue service says 10 to 20 people were wounded and are being treated in Majdal Shams, an Arab Druse town in the Golan.
Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war. Although Syria demands the area back as part of any peace deal, the border has been quiet for decades.
The shootings occurred as Palestinians were marking the mass uprooting that occurred 63 years ago at the time of Israel’s establishment. It was unclear whether the infiltrators were Palestinians.
Oy vey!!! I hope nothing scary is coming up.
The “uprooting” was when Arab countries told the “Palestinians” to leave temporarily while they destroy Israel. These “uprootees” left voluntarily.
#2 and their brothers don’t want them or even to help them or even know about them.
this is an annual event, (forgot the name) however this year with all going on in the Arab world people might take advantage of it
Residents of the Golan and Galil should start moving down south, not to be on the front line if the situation ch”v deteriorates
