Syrian troops along the Israel-Syrian border have been responsible for a number of provocative acts this week-end against Israel territory and Israelis, an Israel military spokesman charged here last night.
The spokesman revealed that beginning with Friday, Syrian troops have: attempted to kidnap a member of Kibbutz Szold; fired on an Israel vessel on Lake Huleh; fired on a shepherd tending a flock of sheep belonging to Kibbutz Gonen, and fired on fishing boats belonging to Kibbutz Gonen. The kidnapping was foiled by the arrival of armed settlers and the indiscriminate shooting caused no casualties. Israel has complained about each of these incidents to the Israel-Syrian Mixed Armistice Commission.
