Syria accuses Israel of facilitating peacekeepers abduction

Syria\'s ambassador to the United Nations, Bashar Jaafari, accused Israel of offering help to the armed group that abducted UN peacekeepers in Golan area. \"Israel facilitated entry of Salafist elements into the buffer zone between Israel and Syria in Golan, which is considered a violation of the 1974 treaty signed between the two sides, Jaafari told reporters on Friday. \"Israel wanted to repeat what it had done in south Lebanon in 1970s when they created an isolating area and appointed a Lebanese officer to fight for them\". \"For achieving such aim, peacekeepers should be evacuated from Golan,\" he added. Meanwhile, the Syrian observatory for human rights said that UN vehicles entered the village of Jamla on Friday, where the hostages are being held.
