Israeli soldiers from a paratroopers unit take part in a military exercise in the Golan Heights near the northern town of Katzrin, Thursday, Dec. 10, 2009. Israel's parliament gave preliminary approval on Wednesday to a bill that would require a referendum to endorse a peace deal relinquishing Israeli control of land in east Jerusalem or the Golan Heights. Syria demands return of the Golan Heights, captured by Israel in 1967.
