People in Occupied Syrian Golan reject Israeli plan to raze Ain Fiet village and transform it into a military post

People in Occupied Syrian Golan have rejected the Israeli occupation plan to raze the remaining houses in the occupied Syrian village of  Ain Fiet, whose residents were forcibly displaced in 1967, and transform it into a military post.

The plan constitutes a direct violation of the UN Security Council Resolution 497, which stresses that all the Israeli practices in occupied Syrian Golan are null and void.

Syrian people in the Occupied Golan underlined that the Israeli scheme to bulldoze homes in Ain Fiet village is categorically rejected.

“The Zionist entity aims to obliterate the national identity, establish a military outpost on our lands and Judaize them,” they said, stressing their adherence to their lands and to the Syrian identity in the face of the Israeli practices including the unfair detentions and systemic oppression.

The Israeli occupation destroyed Ain Fiet, one of the most beautiful villages in the Syrian Golan, following its aggression in 1967 along with more than 240 villages . Nearly 131,000 people, who were living there, were forcibly displaced, with only 7,000 population remained in 6 other villages, namely, Majdal Shams and Masa’da, Baqatha, Ain Qunya, Ghajar, and Sahita.

Later on, the Israeli occupation destroyed Sahita village, turning it into a military post and forcing its people to abandon their village and move to Masa’da.
