Golan locals angry at al-Qaida assault
Israel threatens to attack Syrian troops battling Hetesh
RESIDENTS of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights protested yesterday over Israeli support for al-Qaida terrorists assaulting a Syrian town.
Israel threatened to send troops across the armistice line in the Golan Heights after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (Hetesh) launched a major offensive on the town of Hadar a few miles to the east.
Hadar’s population is largely from the Druze ethno-religious minority.
