Mortar rounds and ballistic ordnance were repeatedly launched on Israeli
border towns and agricultural communities in the valley, from the direction
of the Golan Heights. The Golan is a part of Syria, and was controlled by
Syria until the "Six Days" war in 1967. This contributor makes no direct
accusation, but interestingly, the attacks stopped when Israel achieved control
of the Golan heights during that brief period of hostilities, and have never
resumed during the more than 40 years that intervened between then and
now.
