In the life of nations and people, there are many great occasions which embody their deep-rooted presence and authentic identity and promote it to continue the struggle process.

The day of hoisting the Syrian Arab flag in the liberated city of Quneitra on June 26th, 1974, is one of the everlasting days in our contemporary history. On that day, the Syrian people crowned their struggle to liberate part of the nation after October Liberation War in 1973.

On the anniversary of hoisting the Syrian flag, the tragic reality of the Israeli occupation of the Syrian Golan  and the compulsory displacement of the Syrian citizens in June 1967 can't be ignored.

The number of the Syrians in the region occupied in 1967 was 138,000 inhabitants and the number of people displaced by Israel during and after the aggression was 131,000 Syrians, which means that only 7,000 Syrians remained in the occupied Golan. The number of the Syrians under the yoke of Israeli occupation stands now at more than 30,000 Syrians surrounded by more than 40 Israeli illegal settlements, not to mention the tens of military barracks, arms stockpiles, and thousands of Al-Qaeda affiliates.

The Israeli practices in the occupied Golan flagrantly violate and contradict all international laws, human rights charters and relevant resolutions of the UNSC and General Assembly. Israel has become a magnet for al-Qaeda affiliates who by the Israeli occupation and ewes and new-colonials replaced UNDOF. Thus, instead of the UN decided resolutions and Armistice Agreements, al-Qaeda affiliates proliferate! If  those terrorists burn the innocents alive, drown them, cut their heads off, what would they do to the occupiers!

Geneva - The World Health Organization adopted with majority a draft resolution on the health conditions in the Occupied Palestinian territories and the occupied Syrian Golan, SANA reported.

The adoption came during the 71st World Health Assembly which is currently held in Geneva with participation of Syria.

The resolution stipulates for providing citizens of the occupied Syrian Golan with technical assistance related to health and Palestinians, including detainees, with required health assistance to meet their needs.

Geneva - Health ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) countries called for an end to the health-related violations of the Israeli occupation in the occupied Syrian Golan.

Following a meeting held with the participation of Syria on the sidelines of the 71 World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of WHO, Health Minister Dr. Nizar Yazigi said the NAM countries’ health ministers have adopted a decision demanding member states, international organizations and specialized agencies, each within the purview of its mandate, to push for putting an end to health-related violations committed by occupation authorities in the Syrian Golan, SANA reported.

QUNEITRA, (ST)- The people of occupied Syrian Golan have stressed that history is written by the sacred blood and sacrifices of martyrs who defend the homeland's independence.

In a statement issued on Sunday marking Martyrs Day, the people of Golan vowed to follow the steps of their predecessors who carried the banner of resistance against colonialism and occupation.

Quneitra – Commemorating the 72th anniversary of Evacuation Day (Syrian Independence Day, which marks the evacuation of French occupation forces from the country in 1946), the Syrian citizens in the occupied Syrian Golan stressed the continuation of struggle until all the occupied Syrian territories are liberated of occupation and terrorism, SANA reported.

In a statement issued on this occasion on Tuesday, the Syrian citizens in occupied Syrian Golan renewed adherence to the Arab identity and their belonging to their motherland, Syria, stressing that the occupied Golan will return to the Syrian sovereignty thanks to the sacrifices of the Syrian Army, the steadfastness of the Syrian people and wisdom of the leadership.

The statement added that the Independence Anniversary comes this year amidst celebrating the victory over the tripartite US-British-French aggression that comes back with different faces through supporting the terrorist organizations.
