Israeli tank fires warning shot at Syrian Golan post: army

An Israeli tank fired a warning shot on Saturday at a Syrian military position in the demilitarised zone in the northern Golan Heights following construction work there, the army said. A spokeswoman for the Israeli army told AFP that the Syrian army work "violated the 1974 ceasefire agreement" which "prohibits the entry of heavy construction tools or military vehicles into the demilitarised zone". "In response, the IDF complained to UNDOF (the UN Disengagement Observer Force) and fired a warning shot towards the area using a tank," the spokeswoman said.
