Israel strikes ISIS in Golan Heights, Iranian Forces withdraw from area, Russia steps into Golan Heights with UN Peacekeepers.

An Israeli air strike killed a group of suspected ISIS militants who they claim crossed an Israeli line into the Golan Heights.  In other developments, Russia has sent its military police into the Golan Heights to aid United Nations’ peacekeepers between Syria and Israel.  The peacekeepers had to evacuate the area in 2012 because of safety concerns as a result of the Syrian war.  Russia also has claimed that Iranian Forces have withdrawn to a distance of 53 miles from the Golan Heights, though Israel considers the withdraw not far enough.
