Israeli soldiers lie in their position during a demonstration by Syrian protesters marking « Nakba » on the border between Syria and Israel near the Druze village of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights May 15, 2011. Israeli troops shot at Palestinian protesters on its frontiers with Syria, Lebanon and Gaza on Sunday, killing nine who were marking what they term « the catastrophe » of Israel’s founding in 1948. Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed the territory in 1981, a move not recognised internationally.
