Israeli soldiers fired toward what it claimed "armed suspects" who crossed the ceasefire line with Syria in the annexed Golan Heights, the army said Monday. The army said in a statement the incident occurred late Sunday near the border fence, but provided few other details. The gunmen crossed the Alpha Line, demarcating the demilitarized zone between Israel and Syria set up in 1974 as part of a UN-brokered armistice agreement. The area became a full demilitarized zone, where only UN Disengagement Observer Force and police could operate, while the rest of the buffer zone had strict limits on the number and types of military units and equipment allowed inside it. It was not clear who the suspects were, why they had infiltrated or whether any were wounded. No Israeli soldiers were injured. Israel seized much of the Golan Heights from Syria in a 1967 war and later annexed it in moves never recognized by the international community. The two countries are still technically at war.
