Shooting on Israel-Syria border official

Syria's state TV says four Syrian protesters were shot dead by Israeli troops during a demonstration on the Syrian side of the border with the occupied Golan Heights.

Dozens were injured in the shooting after hundreds walked across minefields, overwhelmed border guards and attempted to cross the border near the village of Majdal Shams.

Eyewitness Salman Fakhreddin describes the scene to Al Jazeera.
