More than 20 people from the occupied Syrian Golan were injured when the Israeli occupation forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas bombs on them to disperse their demonstration against the Israeli wind turbine project on their agricultural lands, according to SANA reporter in Al-Quneitra.

Several other people were detained in the Israeli attacks which continue to this moment, the reporter added, pointing out that there is a state of public anger in the villages of Majdal Shams, Baqatha, Masada and Ein Qinya in the occupied Syrian Golan due to the expansion of the Israeli occupation forces' attacks on the people who have scattered in their lands to prevent the occupation authorities from entering them.

Qenitra,(ST)- Syrians  in the occupied Syrian Golan announced this morning the start of the general and comprehensive strike, which includes all life facilities, disrupting schools , and heading to the lands on which giant fans are to be erected in order to prevent the Israeli occupation authorities from implementing their expansion plan on the people's property.

SANA's correspondent in Quneitra stated that since the early hours of the morning, the people began to gather at the Al-Yafouri shrine between the occupied village of Majdal Shams and Masada, and they split into groups that spread in the lands to be built by the occupation authorities.

The correspondent said  that a number of people in occupied Syrian Golan injured due to Israeli occupation forces use of rubber bullets and tear gas against the people who have spread in their lands in rejection of installation of wind turbines on their agricultural lands.

The decision to declare the strike came after a meeting of the religious and social body in the occupied Syrian Golan to reject the establishment of the giant turbines.

People of the occupied Syrian Golan have reiterated their rejection of the Israeli occupation’s expansionist schemes that aim at building giant wind turbines on their farmlands, affirming their adherence to their lands and their Syrian Arab identity.

In a statement on Tuesday, citizens in the occupied Syrian Golan said “we always reiterate that we reject the establishment of wind turbines on our lands, the lands that belong to the Syrian citizens under the Israeli occupation. The Israeli occupation’s plan aims to confiscate our lands and destroy all elements of life and steadfastness in the occupied Golan."

They added that the Israeli occupation forces' attack on  the agricultural lands of the people of the occupied Syrian Golan with the aim of establishing wind turbines has been met with huge popular rejection by the locals.

“We reaffirm that the occupied Golan, with all its lands, inhabitants, air and water, is an integral part of the Syrian Arab Republic, which alone has legitimacy and mandate over the territories of the occupied Golan,” the Golan people clarified.

People of the occupied Syrian Golan affirmed their stand against the Israeli occupation’s plans to seize the Golan lands, renewing their attachment to every inch of the land of their ancestors and their adherence to the Arab-Syrian identity.

During their confrontation today with the occupation forces who were trying to implement their expansion plan of setting up giant turbines at the factory site, the people of the Golan stressed their rejection of this scheme.

 Sidqi al-Maqt, a liberated Syrian captive, has reiterated that the people of the occupied Syrian Golan will continue to defend their lands whatever the sacrifices are and they will never allow the Israeli occupation to implement its settlement scheme that aims at building wind turbines on their agricultural lands.

“The Israeli occupation forces intensified their presence in the occupied Syrian Golan with the aim of seizing agricultural lands on which they want to implement their settlement scheme,” Al-Maqt, who was among the citizens of the occupied Syrian Golan who massed themselves in the roads leading to their agricultural lands to protest against the Israeli plan to install wind turbines on their farmlands, said in a statement to the Syrian TV on Monday.

He added that the locals will not accept and will not allow the Israeli authorities to implement this scheme, whatever it costs.

“This is Syrian Arab land,” he reiterated.
