Israeli occupation authorities disclosed that four Syrian citizens from Mas'adeh village in the occupied Golan were arrested. Israel Radio said that the four youths threw incendiary bottles at an Israeli police station in Mas'adeh village a week ago.

Meanwhile high tensions have prevailed in parts of the occupied Golan following Israeli occupation authorities' decision to seize lands belonging to the village of Ain Qennyya to enlarge a settlement there.

News reports from the occupied Golan said that the citizens of Ain Qennyya village took charge of defending their lands, situated close to the occupied area of Banias, when a number of settlers tried to seize 60 dunums of village's land.

A large number of the village citizens and nearby villages attacked the fence erected by the settlers in the seized land and were able to bring it down.
