From the text
From his field in southern Syria, Hassan Ahmad pointed at new Israeli fortification works as its military edged ever closer to his village, adjacent to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
"Look at this berm around 300 meters away, just after the trees," said Ahmad, 46, a farmer whose son and nephew were previously kidnapped by Israel during its repeated incursions.
"The Israelis recently restarted digging this line along the Golan Heights," said Ahmad, who keeps planting olive trees near the village of Jubbata al-Khashab even though accessing his fields has become increasingly dangerous.
