Austria peacekeepers begin Golan withdrawal
Departure of 400 Austrian troops raises security concerns in Syrian territory seized by Israel.
Published On 11 Jun 2013
Austria has begun withdrawing its peacekeepers from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Two peacekeepers were hurt recently when Syria’s war spilled into the region.
The Austrian withdrawal cuts the UN mission by a third and it is still uncertain which nations will send reinforcements.
