In July 2017, Al-Marsad and Adalah wrote to Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, the Military Advocate General Sharon Ofek, and head of the Israeli military’s Northern Command Yoel Strick, regarding the danger posed to residents of Majdal Shams by Israeli military outposts and minefields. Since 1967, it is estimated that at least 69 civilian residents of the Golan Heights have been wounded by land mines. Among these, 18 died, half of whom were children. Israeli civilians, Israeli soldiers and tourists have also been victims of landmines, however, accurate figures on casualties are difficult to obtain.
