Syrians lift placards and chant slogans as they rally in Damascus in protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent remarks on Syria. "The enemy has started escalating its rhetoric and boldness. Netanyahu's remarks did not surprise us, as we are familiar with his plans and strategies," says one demonstrator. Netanyahu said on February 23 that southern Syria "including the Quneitra, Daraa and Suwayda provinces" must be completely demilitarised. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
