JERUSALEM, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Israel held a military drill on Tuesday near Moshav Odem in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, amid rising tension in the northern border after two rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel.
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 war and annexed it in 1981, in a move that has been rejected by the international community except the United States which recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli sovereign territory in 2019.
