<p>Syrian police blocked Palestinian protesters from approaching the Israeli border on Monday, a day after more than 20 demonstrators reportedly were killed by Israeli fire while trying to infiltrate into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.</p>
<p>Syrian police set up two checkpoints near the border area, including one kilometer away. About 20 protesters, some waving Syrian flags, started walking down a hill leading to the frontier from Syria, when two police officers blocked them from advancing by extending their arms.</p>
<p>According to the <em>AP</em>, the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak suggested that the Syrian regime had instigated Sunday&#8217;s border unrest to deflect attention from its violent crackdown on opposition forces at home. The Israeli Foreign Ministry declared Israel plans to file a complaint to the U.N. later Monday &#8220;concerning the Syrian regime&#8217;s cynical manipulation of its own citizens in order to generate violent incidents on the border.&#8221;</p>
