There has reportedly been heavy fighting in the Golan heights and Syrian rebels have taken over a UN-run border crossing. The fighting continues very near Israeli held territory near the town of Quneitra.

The White House has called on Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah to withdraw from the fighting. The rebel forces pledged to hit back at Hezbollah on it’s own ground and several rockets hit Baalbek inside Lebanon late on Wednesday.

“The sounds of shelling are very loud,” Raya Fakhradin, who lives in nearby Majdal-Shams, told the BBC. ”Everybody is scared. People have been stocking up on food supplies so that they don’t need to leave their homes.”

Israel has not yet commented on which opposition faction has taken over the crossing and so far there has been no comment from the UN ‘peacekeeping’ force who operate and patrol the demilitarized zone.

“The rebels have seized the crossing near the old city of Quneitra in the occupied Golan Heights,” Rami Abdelrahman, head of the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told Reuters news agency.

UPDATE

Israel is stating that the Syrian Army has re-taken the Golan Heights crossing from the rebels. There is no mention of the UN at this point.(BBC)
