Pretty pathetic.
The headline should actually read: ”Syrians attack Israel in Golan heights, Israel responds”
This is why I take to referring to Reuters as ‘al-Reuters’, for their consistent policy of anti-Israel bias. The perps should be the focus of the headline, not the victims.
Israel fires into Syria after Golan attack on troops
(al-Reuters) – Israel said it fired into Syria on Sunday and destroyed a machinegun position in the Golan Heights from where shots had been fired at Israeli soldiers in a further spillover of the Syrian civil war along a tense front.
It was not immediately clear whether Israel held Syrian troops or rebels responsible for what a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said had been a deliberate attack on Israeli patrols in the occupied territory.
Israeli forces “destroyed a Syrian machine gun nest that fired twice in the last 24 hours on Israeli patrols operating to safeguard the border,” the spokesman, Ofir Gendelman, said on his Twitter page.
Shells have fallen several times inside Israeli-controlled territory during Syria’s civil war. Some of the incidents have drawn Israeli return fire.
Even though the Syrians are fighting amongst themselves, they can’t forget to send a few rounds downrange at Israel now and then. After all, it’s all the fault of the Jooooz!
