Syrians in Golan Heights Slam Zionist Plan for Wind Turbines

 Termed as Dangerous Judaization Plan

DAMASCUS (KI) –Residents in the Golan Heights have staged a protest against the Zionist regime’s plan to install wind turbines in the occupied Syrian territory, saying the move would lead to further expropriation of their farmland.

Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that hundreds of protesters staged a sit-in in the al-Manfukha area, which lies east of Baraka village, to unequivocally reject the proposed scheme.
They said the occupying regime officials intend to seize nearly six thousand dunams (1,482 acres) of their farmland to make way for a wind farm.
The protesters called on the international community to force the occupying regime to halt the scheme, as it constitutes a flagrant violation of resolutions on international legitimacy and will inevitably result in their displacement.
The wind turbine plan is reportedly among the Zionist regime’s most dangerous colonial and Judaization plans targeting the occupied Golan Heights.
The occupying regime authorities plan to install 46 wind turbines in an area near the villages of Majdal Shams, Ein Qiniyye, Buq’ata, and Mas’ade in Golan, according to SANA.
In 1967, the occupying regime waged a full-scale war against Arab territories, during which it occupied a large area of the Golan and annexed it four years later – a move never recognized by the international community.
In 1973, another war broke out, and a year later, an UN-brokered ceasefire came into force, according to which Tel Aviv and Damascus agreed to separate their troops and create a buffer zone in the Golan Heights.
However, the occupying regime has over the past several decades come up with dozens of illegal settlements in the occupied Golan in defiance of international calls for the regime to stop its illegal construction activities there.
In a unilateral move rejected by the international community in 2019, former U.S. president Donald Trump signed a decree recognizing Zionist regime’s “sovereignty” over the Golan Heights.
The Golan Heights is a region of Syria that has been militarily occupied by the Zionist regime since 1967. Damascus has repeatedly reaffirmed its sovereignty over the area, saying it must be completely restored to its control.
