UPDATES - 75 Filipino Soldiers are defiant to surrender their arms to Syrian rebels which began the tension in UN facilities in Golan Heights on August 30, 2014. Filipino fighters stand on their ground to defend UN facilities to be in the hands of bandits.
Seventy-five Filipino members of a United Nations’ peacekeeping force were defending two posts on the Syrian side of Golan Heights, and were prepared to fight back rather than surrender, their commander in Manila said.
“We can use deadly force in defence of the UN facilities,” Colonel Roberto Ancan told reporters.
Syrian rebels, including fighters from the al-Qa’ida affiliate Al-Nusra Front, stormed a Golan Heights crossing at Quneitra on Wednesday, sparking an exchange of gunfire with Israeli troops.
Quneitra is the only crossing between the Syrian and the Israeli-controlled side of the strategic plateau.
The rebels captured 43 Fijian members of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) yesterday, forcing them to surrender their weapons then taking them hostage.
FILIPINO PEOPLE CONDEMNED THIS MOVEMENT OR SYRIAN REBELS. WE SUPPORT OUR BRAVE FILIPINO SOLDIERS.
As what General Mc Arthurs said "Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world.". Our soldiers are brave warriors and can face challenges even it costs their lives, to protect FREEDOM.
