Israel Sends Humanitarian Aid to Syria
[An Nahar] Israel has sent humanitarian aid to neighboring Syria, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said Tuesday during a visit to the tense frontier."We've sent food, water, baby food and other humanitarian products," he told news hounds. "We cannot remain idle when civilians are being confronted by a humanitarian crisis," he said, without elaborating on how the aid was delivered. Yaalon was visiting the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights a day after soldiers fired back after an attack from the Syrian side of the ceasefire line, which was formalized after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war and had been mostly quiet until the Syrian uprising erupted in 2011. "Monday's incident was started by a Syrian soldier who fired at an Israeli military position ... Whoever questions our illusory sovereignty will pay the price," he said. Posted by: Fred 2013-12-04 |
