That "rebel groups attacked at least four UNDOF positions on the Syrian side of the buffer zone in recent days"?

No concern for attacks on UN observers?

Note that one thing that makes the situation difficult is that there's no statement that I'm aware saying that the new bosses will uphold all the agreements signed by the old bosses. In other words, will the newly supposedly ex-Islamist government actually abide by and keep the relative peace in the Golan?
