Description

Golan Heights, Syria. Observation Post no. 71 of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO). Peacekeeping observers working from such posts were charged with the task of ensuring that Israeli and Syrian forces kept apart and did not shoot at each other. The Observation Post is enclosed in thick stone walls topped with barbed wire, while its entrance is protected by strong metal gates. At right is a radio antenna and an observation platform with a powerful binocular telescope mounted on it. Snow lies on the ground and a snowman stands at the rear.
