Report: Israel ups security on Syria border to block refugees
None
Israel has bolstered security along its border with Syria in the Golan Heights as fighting between Syrian rebels and President Bashar Assad's regime intensified, Israeli security sources told AFP.
"The IDF is reinforcing the fence between Israel and Syria, by adding more barbed wire," one official said, indicating that it was motivated by "fears that refugees from the Syrian side could cross it." (AFP)
