UN demands halt to all military activity on Golan
None
The UN Security Council is demanding a halt to all military activity by the Syrian government and opposition fighters on the Golan Heights and calling for increased measures to protect UN peacekeepers caught in crossfire.
A resolution adopted unanimously by the council Thursday extends the mandate of the UN force monitoring the disengagement of Israeli and Syrian forces in the Golan Heights until Dec. 31. Austria announced earlier this month it would pull out its 377 peacekeepers from the 911-member UN force after fighting from the Syrian civil war threatened their positions. (AP)
