Israeli soldiers fire at ‘armed suspects’ in Golan
JERUSALEM, Dec 24, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Israeli soldiers fired toward “armed
suspects” who crossed the ceasefire line with Syria in the annexed Golan
Heights, the army said Monday.
The army said in a statement the incident occurred late Sunday near the
border fence, but provided few other details. No Israeli soldiers were
injured.
It was not clear who the suspects were, why they had infiltrated or
whether any were wounded.
Israel seized much of the Golan Heights from Syria in a 1967 war and later
annexed it in moves never recognised by the international community.
The two countries are still technically at war.
