JERUSALEM: Israel’s army fired tank shells into Syria on Monday and scored “direct hits” in response to a Syrian mortar shell that struck the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, the Israeli military said in a statement.
Israeli military sources said Syrian mobile artillery was directly hit in the incident.
It was the second time in two days that Israel has responded to what it said was errant Syrian fire. On Sunday the military said it had a fired a “warning shot” across the disengagement line, while on Monday it said it had fired back at “the source”.
Military sources would not say if the mortar bomb was fired by Syrian army forces or by the rebels they are battling in and around the United Nations’ patrolled area of separation.
So sad and heart aching incident for a true well wisher of man kind that is Ahmadi the true Muslims.
Here I would like to share my poem that I had composed a long time ago. Almost 12 years now.
Land Of Prophets
Palestine the land of Abraham
Land of Ishmael, Isaac and Jesus
The land of Prophets
Is injured and bleeding
weeping and grieving
The nations of two brothers
Are blood thirsty of each other’s
The land that was so sacred
Has become a target of hatred
The point that could bring them closer
Has parted them even farther
The Holy place that they both take delight
Has become a cause to fall in a fight
Alas! What a plight
who will ever fix this dispute?
It is You my God absolute!
O’ Allah they both believe in you
Help them solve it true
For half a century this land is suffering
No day is safe no night comforting
Many a youths strong and gorgeous
Lost their lives
Leaving their children orphaned
Widowing their wives
Peace and harmony since long battered
Business and economy is shattered
Infants snatched from mother’s lap
Can There be a greater mishap?
Can there ever be an end
to this unacceptable dangerous trend?
O’ Allah put in their hearts
Faith, justice and mercy
so that each other’s rights
they can see
So that each other’s rights they can see
Amen
