Dozens of Syrians approach Golan border; tourists evacuated

The IDF evacuated tourists from the top of Mount Hermon Wednesday afternoon, after sighting dozens of possibly armed Syrians approaching the border in the Golan Heights.

The IDF said the suspects did not infiltrate the border into Israel. It was not clear whether they were armed.

Last week, mortar shells fired by the Syrian army strayed into Israel, striking northern Israeli farmlands.

The shells landed harmlessly in open fields, but exploded a short time after farmers were in the area.

The mortar shells were “aimed at villages inside Syria and are part of the internal, ongoing conflict in Syria,” said the IDF Spokesman’s Office following the incident.

The IDF also warned that “fire from Syria leaking into Israel will not be accepted.”

It was the second time in as many months that Syrian shells strayed across the border into Israel.

Since al-Qaeda is fighting along side the opposition forces the danger is there for these terrorists to start a conflict with the Israelis along that border.
