Fighting between the Syrian government and opposition forces has made its way into the Golan heights. There are reports that Syrian government forces have taken back control of the border crossing there that has been monitored by the U.N. since 1974.
Reporter Matthew Bell recently traveled to the Golan Heights for PRI’s The World, which is produced by our partner WGBH. There he reported on how Syria’s civil war has been disrupting the peace of the Israeli controlled Golan Heights.
