Fighting breaks out in Golan Heights as UN tries to rescue 44 Fijian peacekeepers

The al-Nusra rebels, the Syrian wing of the al-Qaeda, stormed the Syrian side of the Quneitra border crossing and seized 44 Fijian peacekeepers who were working as part of a UN mission that has monitored the ceasefire on the strategic plateau since 1974 dailymail.co.uk.
Subsequently, the Syrian troops battled with the rebels near the armistice line with Israel on the Golan Heights, even as the United Nations pressed efforts to free the 44 peacekeepers held by the insurgents. The incident took place close to a stretch of the Levant occupied by Israel.
Several shells struck close to the ceasefire line as rocket, mortar and tank fire was exchanged – it was reported by Israeli public radio that one stray round had struck the occupied territory but caused no casualties.
Incidentally, Golan Heights is a 460 square mile region largely seized from Syria by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War of 1967, then annexed in 1981 in a move never recognized by the international community.
The UN Disengagement Observer Force currently has 1,200 peacekeepers from the Philippines, Fiji, India, Ireland, Nepal and the Netherlands.

ISIS spreads chilling messages through videos that shows its thirst for blood

After spreading terror through its video of beheading of a US journalist, the ISIS have now revealed another video that shows 200 soldiers, in underwear, being marched to their death through the desert nzherald.co.nz. These videos just reveals the bloodthirsty nature of those who commit such crimes.
Reports indicate that the Islamic State group has killed more than 150 troops captured in recent fighting from a number of military bases in northeastern Syria – some have been shot dead, others knifed to death in the latest spate of mass killing attributed to the extremists.
Meanwhile, in southern Syria, gunmen detained 43 UNDOF (United Nations Disengagement Observer Force) peacekeepers during fighting on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights – this is as per reports from the United Nations said. Moreover, another 81 peacekeepers were trapped in the area by the heavy clashes between rebels and Syrian troops.
The office of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon did not identify the armed group that is holding the peacekeepers but it is a known fact that a number of rebel groups operate in the Golan, while the Islamic State group has no known presence there.
The UN said another 81 peacekeepers are "currently being restricted to their positions" in the vicinity of Ruwaihaniyeh and Burayqa.
The government of Syria has denounced the "kidnapping" of the UN peacekeepers and, in a statement released by the Syrian Foreign Ministry, the government said it holds "the terrorist groups and those who support them fully responsible for the safety of the UN peacekeepers, and calls for their immediate release."
