Rebeldes sirios toman cruce con Israel durante choque con fuerzas de Assad

Syrian rebels, including Al-Qaeda-linked fighters, captured a border crossing with Israel in the Golan Heights after intense fighting with Assad's forces. The capture is more symbolic than strategic but may relieve nearby villages under siege. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the Nusra Front and the Western-backed Free Syrian Army took the crossing, resulting in the deaths of around twenty Syrian soldiers and an undisclosed number of rebels. From the Israeli side, smoke and explosions were visible, and stray bullets injured an Israeli soldier. Israel, which has not taken sides in the war, responded by attacking two Syrian military positions, holding the Syrian government responsible for any cross-border violence.
