Israel on Saturday said it is supporting United Nations peacekeepers in Syria after an attack by “armed individuals.”
The Israeli military said the UN position near the town of Hader, close to the border with Israel, came under attack.
Israel earlier said it was reinforcing its units in the annexed Golan Heights region, which it conquered from Syria in 1967 and annexed in 1981.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor, rebel forces have occupied several positions near the border to Israel, including Quneitra governorate.
