At least 13 people died and 225 were injured Sunday when Israeli soldiers opened fire on Syrians and Palestinians trying to breach the Israeli-controlled border on the occupied Golan Heights, the second such attempt in weeks, Syrian television reported. However, while the Israeli military confirmed it opened fire, it said its troops aimed at the legs of those trying to breach the border, as dpa reported. Hundreds of protesters, many of them Palestinian refugees living in Syria, gathered on the so-called Shouting Hill, on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.
