Police on high alert for possible unrest as Palestinians mark 1967 war

Police on high alert for possible unrest as Palestinians mark 1967 war Thousands of Israeli security forces are on alert for possible border unrest as Palestinians mark the anniversary of the 1967 Mideast war. Over the weekend, Palestinians in Syria and Lebanon canceled plans to march to their frontiers with Israel.
But Israel wasn\'t taking any chances after thousands of Arab protesters surged to Israel\'s borders with Syria, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank last month.
Hundreds breached a porous border fence then to enter the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in 1967.
Since then, Israel has fortified its northern frontier with trenches and landmines.
The military wouldn\'t release troop deployment details on Sunday. Police said thousands of officers have been mobilised.
