A terrorist group detain UN Golan observers

World

About 20 UN observers have been detained by about 30 armed terrorists  in the Golan Heights, the UN has confirmed.

A video posted earlier on the internet showed men claiming to be Syrian rebels standing next to vehicles with the letters “UN” written on them.

The UN said the observers were monitoring a ceasefire between Syria and “Israel”according to the BBC.

A team is being despatched from the UN mission to assess the situation.

UN deputy spokesman Eduardo del Buey said the observers were on “a regular supply mission” when they were stopped near Observation Post 58 by the armed men.

He said the post had sustained damage and was evacuated over the past weekend following “heavy combat in close proximity”.

The spokesman did not provide any further details.

Some reports suggest the UN observers were from the Philippines.

  The UN Security Council also condemned the detention of the observers and demanded their immediate release.
