Israeli troops open fire in Golan

Breaking news

Israeli soldiers have fired on Palestinian protesters in Syria as they marched on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

A BBC producer said she saw dozens of people trying to cross the border, and then saw Israeli troops open fire.

Three people fell to the ground, but it was not clear if they were injured, she said. Syrian state TV says two people have died.

The protesters are marking the 44th anniversary of the 1967 Mid-East war.
