Israel attacks military sites in Syrian coast as Golan Heights occupation expansion approved
ISRAELI attacks have targeted military sites in Syria’s coastal Tartous region in the “heaviest strikes” in the area in more than a decade, human rights group warned today.
It came as Israel’s government approved a plan to include the number of illegal settlers occupying the Golan Heights just days after using the ousting of Bashar al-Assad as an opportunity to seize more territory.
The plan proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will double the number of Israeli settlers living in the region with a budget exceeding 40 million shekels (about £9m).
