Josh Bing #4 - Israel vows 'immediate' answer to Syria fire
As of recently, Syria has been firing upon Israel, specifically the Golan heights, which Israel
took in 1967 and annexed in 1981.. Yesterday, Israel shot back, firing an anti-tank
missile at an outpost in Syria. Additionally, the new Israeli Defense Minister, Moshe Yaalon, has
vowed that Israel will retalliate against any fire that Israel comes under from Syria. Israel also
has fears that the UN may start to pull out of the Golan Heights, because 21 members of the UN's
peacekeepers were kidnapped by Syrian rebels in the ceasefire zone. This could potentially lead
to much violence in the coming months if Syria continues firing on Israel. It seems that part of
the Six Days War seems to be repeating itself, except Syria wants to take back the land that
was taken from them.
