FSA: We zullen de Golanhoogten terug pakken van Israel na de val van Assad.
Syrian rebels threaten to take Golan, Israel increases forces
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Israel's military has increased its forces on the northern border with Syria after Syrian rebels threatened to retake the Golan Heights.
The threats come as most of Syrian President Hafez Assad's troops have left the region and the rebels have advanced on the border region, Ynet reported.
Syrian rebels reportedly began entering the demilitarized zone between Syria and Israel on Saturday, the same day that 21 Filipino United Nations peacekeeping troops were released by Syrian rebels who had held them for four days into Jordan, and a day after several peacekeeping troops left their posts on the border and crossed into Israel.
Rebels also shot firearms near the Israeli border in the demilitarized zone.
"We are now in front of the occupied Golan, the blessed land sold by Hafez Assad," a rebel says in a video clip posted on-line on Saturday night, according to Ynet.
"For 40 years, not a single gunshot has been fired on this land. For 40 years, not a single gunshot has been fired towards Israel. We will free the Golan and it will return to the free Syrian people, with the help of Allah," the rebel said
Misschien moet Europa ze nog wat wapens geven, wat een k*tcontintent zijn wij toch hè
