Al-Qaeda-led Rebels have seized most of the Syrian side of the armistice line with Israel on the Golan Heights, a monitoring group said on Saturday. "The regime is on the retreat before the advancing rebels," Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP. They are part of the 1,200-strong UN Disengagement Observer Force, which monitors a 1974 ceasefire between Israel and Syria on the Golan. Israel seized 1,200 square kilometres (460 square miles) of the territory during the Six-Day War of 1967, then annexed it in 1981 in a move never recognised by the international community.
