(31 Aug 2014) The Philippines military chief said on Sunday that more than 70 Filipino peacekeepers had escaped from two areas in the Golan Heights that came under attack by Syrian rebels.
General Gregorio Pio Catapang said that the Filipino peacekeepers had "successfully repositioned" to Camp Ziouani, the base for UNDOF (United Nations Disengagement Observer Force).
Speaking from the Philippines capital, Manila, Catapang said the Filipinos were surrounded by the rebels and had to return fire in self-defence before managing to escape after a seven-hour battle.
The clashes came after Syrian rebel groups, including the Nusra Front, overran the Quneitra crossing on the frontier between Syrian and Israeli controlled parts of the Golan on Wednesday, seizing 44 Fijian peacekeepers.
