Syria and Israel resume shooting on frontier
Syrian outposts fired on a five man Israeli patrol near their positions while Israeli gunners returned fire. Israeli officials said Syrians clung to fortified positions in the Tawafik area against a UN withdrawal demand. Ben-Gurion warned Israel would act if the UN failed to remove Syrian units from a demilitarized zone southeast of the Sea of Galilee. Col Akram Deery said Israeli forces concentrate south of the Sea of Galilee.
