Austria Pulls Out Golan Heights Troops
(Ynet News) Maor Buchnick - Austria began withdrawing peacekeepers from the Golan Heights, winding down a four-decade mission due to spillover fighting from the Syrian civil war. Austrian troops moved from the Quneitra crossing point to a United Nations base inside the Israeli-held part of the heights on Tuesday. United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) troops left behind, most of them from Chile and India, were doubtful the tense situation will improve. "I'm alive, but the reality is there's an escalation, and we're stuck in the middle," a UNDOF soldier said.
