Article: This weekend on the border of Israel in the Golan Heights and Syria (Kids: find on map), IS battled with UN peacekeeping troops from Ireland and the Philippines. IS was probably trying to kill or take the UN troops hostage, as they did last week with soldiers from Fiji. The UN told the troops to surrender to IS, which would have meant they be taken captive and tried under Shariah Law. Instead, they decided to defend their base and fight off IS. Israel, which had troops on the higher ground, helped them fight off IS and apparently Israel's help led to success: IS was successfully fought off. Then, Israeli soldiers helped guide the Irish and Filipino troops to safety.
