Syrian Refugees seek Israelis help near Israel's borders.


Over 120,000 Syrians have fled the Daraa region since fighting broke out in south western Syria earlier this week.  Around 50,000 are heading to the boarders of Jordan and Israel.  Although Israel has warned that it will not allow violations of its sovereignty and refugees spilling over its boarders, the Israeli army said that they shipped humanitarian aid last night to those Syrians fleeing the fight who are currently living in makeshift camps near her boarder in the Golan Heights.  A group of Syrians who are fleeing the fighting have asked Israel to help them.  A video appeared on YouTube asking for help.  The United Nations Security Council unanimously renewed its mission on Friday to continue the ceasefire in the Golan Heights, and called for all armed groups to leave the area between Syria and Israel.
