GOLAN HEIGHTS (Dispatches) – Zionist troops shot dead a Syrian national and injured another for allegedly approaching a fence, according to the military on Sunday.
In a statement, the occupying regime’s army said troops monitoring surveillance cameras spotted the two men crossing the so-called Alpha Line --a UN buffer zone separating the Israeli-occupied territories from Syria -- and approaching the fence in the occupied Golan Heights.
“Army soldiers were dispatched to the scene and opened fire in accordance with standard operating procedures,” it added.
No injuries were reported among Zionist troops.
There was no comment from Syrian regime authorities on the incident.
The Zionist regime has occupied most of the Syrian Golan Heights since the 1967 Middle East War.
On March 25, 2019, the former U.S. administration of Donald Trump recognized the occupying regime’s so-called sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which caused uproar in Syria.
