The United States said Sunday it is "deeply troubled" over clashes on the Syrian border with Israel that reportedly resulted in 14 deaths, and called for calm on both sides.
Israeli troops opened fire as protesters from Syria on Sunday stormed a ceasefire line in the occupied Golan Heights.
"We are deeply troubled by events that took place earlier today in the Golan Heights resulting in injuries and the loss of life," the State Department said in a statement.
"We call for all sides to exercise restraint. Provocative actions like this should be avoided."
The US statement emphasized that "Israel, like any sovereign nation, has a right to defend itself."
Hundreds of protesters rushed towards the ceasefire line on Sunday, cutting through barbed wire as they tried to enter the Golan Heights in a repeat of demonstrations last month that saw thousands mass along Israel's north.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
It’s not like they set off a car alarm and yelled OPEN UP twice before they shot them.

The Israelis are doing what our “government” should be doing on our southern border.
As usual, the St. Dept. is more “deeply troubled” by Israel defending herself than by Arab regimes (like Assad’s) gunning down their own people by the hundreds.
I think it's about time the IAF buzzes Assad's house with F-16s again. It's been a few years.
Klavan is hilarious :)
That must have not come from the Obama-meister.
I’m deeply troubled that Israeli didn’t kill more of these Syrian nazis. It would help cut down their carbon foot prints, stop their consumerism which leads to trash pollution, and would give the grave-diggers more full-time employment.
Oh, wait, the Assad dictatorship is doing just this to pro-democracy protesters. What do you think of that? Unfortunately, the decent people are being killed by the thousands while the nazi-trash work for the govt and get away with mass murder.
Hilarious?
Best solution! The Arab Spring wants democracy? Let the only ME democracy teach them about democracy and success!!!
Really though ~ this Arab Spring has f/all to do with democracy, its about the first phase of Obama’s MB inc caliphate. Libya? Just a side show to redirect attention. The spin the WH has put on it is ridiculous.
Democracy is antithetical to Islam. Its just being used as a screen.
Solution is simple Obama, call off your Muslim minions who are invading Israel seeking to do harm.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Won’t be any calm until the muslin zealots are wiped out. There one and only goal is dead Christians and Jews, or any one who does not believe as they do.

Extremely precise and accurate!
The U.S. has been “deeply troubled” ever since the electorate placed a vicious, anti-American, anti-western Marxist Muslim in the White House.
I’m deeply troubled that Israel didn’t kill even more of the scum.
