Thousands of Syrians have staged protests across different cities against US President Donald Trump's formal recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, a move that has sparked global concern and a call for "resistance" from Lebanon's Hezbollah.


Men and women carrying Syrian and Palestinian flags and banners reading "Golan is Syrian" marched through the southern city of Sweida in Syria on Tuesday, according to state-run SANA news agency, as Imad Sara, the country's information minister, called for a "strong response" and at a rally in Damascus.
