Syria Decries Zionist regime Military Assaults on Protesters in Occupied Golan

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates announced in a statement on Thursday that the deployment of a large number of Israeli troops in Mas'ade village in the northern Golan Heights with the intent of terrorizing locals and barbaric attacks on them shows that terrorism constitutes the long-established practice of Israeli authorities.

The steadfastness and resilience of Syrians in the occupied Golan reaffirm that the occupying Israeli regime is inescapably doomed to collapse and that its settlement construction projects cannot help it forge an identity, the ministry added.

On Wednesday, thousands of protesters in the occupied Golan Heights were met with Israeli tear gas, sponge-tipped bullets, and a water cannon as they demonstrated against the construction of wind turbines there.

Dozens of people were injured as authorities hit back at protesters who threw stones, set off fireworks, lit tires and blocked roads.

Observers believe the wind turbine project is among the colonial plans of the Israeli regime in the occupied Golan Heights. 

Israeli authorities plan to install 46 wind turbines in an area near the villages of Majdal Shams, Ein Qiniyye, Buq’ata, and Mas’ade in Golan, according to Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
