Israel army says it hit Syrian ‘structures’ in Golan Heights

Al Jazeera  

The announcement came after two people were reportedly killed in an Israeli attack near the Syrian town of Beit Jinn. Israel’s military has said its tanks fired on two Syrian structures in the Golan Heights in what the army said was a violation of a 1974 disengagement accord between the two countries. The announcement from Israel’s military came after at least two people were killed while riding a motorcycle near the Syrian town of Beit Jinn, about an hour north of where the tanks struck, two Palestinian sources and one Lebanese security source told the Reuters news agency. “Two members of Al-Jihad Al-Islamy Movement were killed in an attack by an Israeli drone on Baet Jen area in western Rif Dimashq, near the border with the Syrian occupied Golan,” the war monitor said in a statement. The Golan Heights – a hilly 1,200 square kilometre plateau that also overlooks Lebanon and borders Jordan – is Syrian territory that was occupied by Israel in 1967, after the latter captured the area in the Six Day War, before annexing it in 1981.
