Hundreds rally for Assad in the Golan Heights

MAJDAL SHAMS (AFP) -- Some 500 people living on the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights on Friday held a rally of support for embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, an AFP photographer said.

Waving Syrian flags and portraits of Assad, the demonstrators marched through Majdal Shams. "We love you, Bashar ... We are with the Syrian army," they chanted.

Against the backdrop of the deadly anti-regime protests in Syria, their banners read: "We are for a dialogue aimed at national unity."

Israel, whose police did not intervene in the demonstration, seized the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed the Druze-inhabited territory.
