Israel arrests six Syrians in the Golan

Israeli forces on Wednesday arrested six Syrian citizens from Buqata village in the occupied Golan Heights on charges of resisting the Israeli occupation.

The Israeli court addressed to the six Syrian detainees the charge of resisting the Israeli occupation in the Golan and carrying out a series of operations, including setting fire in two gas cylinders on one of the Israeli army bases and being behind a blast that took place in Baqata last week.

On Wednesday, the Israeli court lifted the embargo which bans publishing details of the case in the course of investigations in this case. Three of the six Syrian detainees were wounded in the blast.

Meanwhile, Israeli television said on Wednesday that the six arrested Syrian young men --five of them aged between 14 and 16 and the sixth is 18 years old-- are charged with being members of anti-Israeli organization in the village of Kasyoun.
