Syrian shooting at land workers in the demilitarized zone southeast of Lake Tiberias continued today for the third day in a row.
The target of today’s firing was a tractor working on lands belonging to the Haon settlement. The fire was not returned, and no casualties were reported. During the two hours of shooting, a dry field was set afire but did not spread because of a favorable wind.
Israel lodged complaints with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, and the Israeli-Syrian Mixed Armistice Commission started probing the attacks.
