Israeli army strikes UN site on Syrian territory

Monday 28-November-2016

Israeli fighter jets at predawn Monday struck a UN site to the south of the occupied Golan Heights.

Israel’s Channel 2 quoted the occupation army spokesman as stating that the strike launched by the Israeli Air Forces came in response to gunfire unleashed on the Golani Brigade on Sunday while carrying out ordinary drills near the border fence with Syria.

He added that the strike targeted an abandoned site that was used by the UNIFIL forces which retreated from the area due to the raging hostilities between the Syrian government battalions and the opposition militias. ISIS militias reportedly grabbed hold of the site.

This is the first time the Israeli occupation army claims responsibility for an attack on the Syrian territories after it kept mum over dozens of similar raids.

Four unidentified fighters were killed Sunday in an exchange of fire with the Israeli occupation Golani Brigade near the Syrian borderland.
