Syrians flags are seen aloft, at Ein al-Teineh, southern Damascus, Syria, Saturday Feb. 14, 2009, opposite the occupied village of Majdal Shams, in the Golan Heights. Some 2000 Syrians came to this village to join their fellow demonstrators, on the occupied side in Majdal Shams to protest the 27th anniversary of the Israeli annexation of the Heights.

In December 1981, Israel unilaterally annexed the Golan thus applying Israeli laws, jurisdiction and administration to anyone living in the region.
