DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT? – AT 10:32 A.M. ET:  This, just in from Times of Israel, AP, and AFP: 

Seventy-five UNDOF peacekeepers in the Golan Heights fled Syrian territory for the Israeli-controlled Golan on Saturday after their positions were attacked by rebel forces.

An Israeli military spokesman confirmed that a number of UN peacekeepers entered Israel. He spoke on condition of anonymity. Channel 2 said 75 UN troops had crossed the borders, after two UN positions on the Syrian side of the border were targeted by al-Nusra rebel forces.

Earlier in the day, the Philippine defense chief said that Filipino peacekeepers in the Golan Heights were attacked by Syrian rebels, who are also holding dozens of Fijian troops hostage.

Clashes continued in the area through Saturday.

Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin told reporters Saturday in a series of text messages that Filipino troops manning one UN encampment had been “extricated,” while soldiers in another encampment were “now under attack.”

Asked if there was a fresh firefight Saturday, Gazmin replied: “Yes.”

Military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Ramon Zagala later told AFP that “there is still an ongoing standoff but there was a firefight earlier today.”

COMMENT:  So, 1) the UN "peacekeeper" were so weak that they couldn't keep the peace, even in their own little sector and 2) the UN "peacekeepers," representing one of the most anti-Israel bodies in the world, fled to Israel at first sign of danger.

I doubt if Israel will be thanked for its hospitality, any more than our own country has been thanked for saving endless numbers of Muslims over the years. 

Watch the way this little piece of history is rewritten.
