{{A spokesman for a Palestinian militant group in Syria says it has received a nod from President Bashar Assad’s regime to attack Israel following the back-to-back Israeli airstrikes over the weekend.}}
Anwar Raja of the Damascus-based Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command says the regime has given “a green light” for the group “to attack Israeli targets” from the Syrian-controlled part of Golan Heights.
Raja did not elaborate on how the alleged approval was conveyed to PFLP-GC fighters but he stressed that there was no official government note. The Palestinian official spoke to media on Tuesday.
Most Palestinians in Syria remained on the sidelines of the 2-year-old conflict, but PFLP-GC has fought alongside government troops against the rebels trying to topple Assad.
