Syrian TV: protesters to stage a sit-in on border
"State-run Syrian television says Syrian and Palestinian protesters at the border have decided to stage an open-ended sit-in. The TV reports that thousands of people are headed to the Quneitra border area to take part."

DEBKAfile, Israeli army on night alert after violent Syrian bid to break through border
"Day-long clashes Sunday, June 5, escalated towards evening between Israeli troops ordered to prevent border incursions and hundreds of Syrian-Palestinians throwing rocks and attempting to break through."

DEBKAfile, Assad paid Golan demonstrators $1,000 apiece, but turnout scanty
"Assad's home front is sinking fast, which was why he tried to stage a piece of nation-cementing drama on the Israeli border. He hoped the Golan dead would outnumber the many hundreds killed in his three-month crackdown on the protest movement against his regime and is therefore likely to keep on trying."

Isaiah 14:
1 But the Lord will have mercy on the descendants of Jacob. He will choose Israel as his special people once again. He will bring them back to settle once again in their own land. And people from many different nations will come and join them there and unite with the people of Israel. 2 The nations of the world will help the Lord’s people to return, and those who come to live in their land will serve them. Those who captured Israel will themselves be captured, and Israel will rule over its enemies...

24 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath:
“It will all happen as I have planned.It will be as I have decided.25 I will break the Assyrians when they are in Israel;I will trample them on my mountains.My people will no longer be their slaves nor bow down under their heavy loads.26 I have a plan for the whole earth,a hand of judgment upon all the nations.27 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has spoken—who can change his plans?When his hand is raised,who can stop him?” [emphasis mine]
