Israeli Troops Fire at Protesters on Golan, At Least 4 Killed

   VOA News  June 05, 2011

   Israeli troops have fired at demonstrators from Syria who rushed the
   cease-fire line fence on the Golan Heights on the anniversary of the
   Arab defeat in the 1967 Middle East war.
   Syrian television says four protesters were killed. An Israeli army
   spokesman said about 12 demonstrators were wounded but said he could
   not confirm any deaths.
   The Israeli army says its troops had "no choice" but to open fire after
   hundreds of demonstrators ignored numerous warnings to stay clear of
   the boundary fence on the Golan.
   The demonstrators were marking the anniversary of Israel's capture of
   the Golan Heights, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip in
   the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
