Syrian official Medhat Al-Saleh was allegedly killed on Saturday by Israeli sniper fire, outside his home situated just a few hundred yards from the shared border between the two countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former Israeli security prisoner is believed to have been recruited by Iranian forces to plot terrorist activities with Iranian senior officials along the border against Israel, according to a\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0by Israel\u2019s\u00a0Walla<\/em>\u00a0news.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saleh, who spent 12 years in an Israeli prison on terrorism charges before being released in 1997, was allegedly assassinated in the town of Ein al-Tina, near the border with Israel along the slopes of Mount Hermon. The town is located across the border from Majdal Shams, a Druze village in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights in which Saleh was born and raised, and where most of his family still lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSaleh is known to us as a prominent activist. He may have worked to carry out a terrorist attack in collaboration with one of the Shiite axis units,\u201d tweeted Maj. (res.) Tal Beeri, head of the research department at the Alma Center.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former security prisoner\u2019s proximity to Israel and his home\u2019s short distance from Majdal Shams opened up the possibility of shooting and killing him using a sniper,\u00a0Walla<\/em>\u00a0reported, citing unidentified sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following his release from Israeli prison in the late 1990s, Saleh decided to cross the border and flee to Syria, where he continued his involvement in in anti-Israel terror activities while maintaining contact with the Druze community in Israel. A few years later, he was voted into the Syrian parliament representing Golan Heights affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years Saleh was reported to communicate with his family from the so-called shouting hill, where Syrian civilians stand and send shouting messages to the Israeli side, and which is located near a two-story house he built. According to sources cited by\u00a0Walla<\/em>, \u201cwhoever wanted to take him out didn\u2019t need too many identifying details, as he was almost two meters tall and fat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
