AMMAN- The Syrian army has taken control of a strategic hill that overlooks the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, state television said on Monday.
It said the army had taken control of al-Haara hill in the second day of a major offensive to seize remaining parts of southwest Syria in rebel hands that are close to the border with Israel.
