A Syrian flag is reflected on a man watching a rally through a window in the Druze village of Majdal Shams on the Golan Heights, which stand at the heart of a long-standing conflict between Israel and Syria, Feb. 14. Hundreds of members of the Druze community took part in a rally on Tuesday, marking the 31st anniversary of Israel's annexation of the strategic plateau which it captured in the 1967 Middle East War.
