(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - Israel's National Mine Action Authority on Tuesday uncovered a Syrian military bunker full of explosives at Mitzpe Gadot on the Golan Heights, the Defense Ministry said. During mine-clearing work, "a bunker was discovered, full of hundreds of pieces of ordnance, including mortar shells of different calibers, flares, pyrotechnic munitions, explosives, hunting rifle ammunition and others inside their original packages." Israel has been clearing the area as part of an effort to open more parts of the Golan to hikers and tourists. Thousands of mines are still buried in the area.
