Austria's FC speaker visits the Israeli-destroyed Syrian city of Quneitra

The governor of the Syrian city of Quneitra on Wednesday received Speaker of the Austrian Federal Council Ludwig Bieringer, Austrian ambassador in Damascus Hans Kenil and the commander of the Austrian battalion working at UNDOF on the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

The visiting Austrian official and his companions listened to explanations from the governor on how the Israeli occupation forces brutally, deliberately and systematically destroyed Quneitra before their withdrawal in 1974 following the October war of 1973, along with 244 villages and farms which were completely erased so as to replace them by illegitimate settlements.
