The Israeli military is refusing to confirm if there were any deaths. It claims that two armed men were identified near the border fence in Kunetra, in the Syrian-controlled area, after 150 marchers entered a mined zone as they approached the fence of the Israeli-controlled zone.
An Associated Press photo of the marchers:

0630 GMT: Human Rights Watch has expressed concern that Libyan opposition authorities are arbitrarily detaining dozens of civilians suspected of activities supporting the Qaddafi regime. HRW said the authorities "should provide the detainees with full due process rights or release them".
The organisation also called on authorities to bring volunteer security groups "under a recognized civilian authority and investigate their alleged abuses". It said one detainee of a volunteer group had apparently been tortured to death in custody.
0520 GMT: For long portions of yesterday, the media were transfixed by the question of the whereabouts of Yemen's injured President Saleh. Had he been taken to Saudi Arabia for treatment? Was he in Germany? Or was he still in Yemen, being assessed by Saudi doctors?
After hours of uncertainty, the apparent resolution is that Saleh was finally moved to Saudi Arabia after physicians reviewed the case. He has burns and shrapnel wounds, the most serious report asserting that a piece is lodged near his heart. Yemen's Vice President is now Acting President and Commander of the armed forces.
Celebration by protesters in Change Square in the Yemeni capital Sana'a on Saturday after hearing the news of President Saleh's departure for Saudi Arabia
The speculation over Saleh crowded out other developments. In Syria, protesters buried their dead from Friday in demonstrations which reportedly brought out more mass crowds, although the security blanket is limiting news from many parts of the country. In Libya, the insurgency consolidated gains, as another foreign VIP --- British Foreign Secretary William Hague --- visited the opposition centre of Benghazi to discuss co-operation. In Bahrain, the regime continued to put out the line that all is well, despite the continued detentions of political prisoners.
The View from The Syrian Regime
While the Syrian opposition attended dozens of funerals on Saturday, State news agency SANA focused on the processions for four policemen it claimed had been slain during clashes with "armed terrorist groups".
Activists confirmed that a plainclothes member of the military secret police was killed at an opposition funeral in Hama on Saturday. He was recognised as a police officer, and when he pulled his handgun out, mourners stopped him and found his military ID card.
Prisoners in Bahrain
The Los Angeles Times profiles Mohamed Albuflasa, who remains in jail after almost four months. In contrast to the most of the detainees, Albuflasa is a Sunni follower of Salafism. Protesting for reform and democracy, he was detained in the first days of the uprsising.
Albuflasa was brought before a military court with no access to a lawyer or witnesses in late February. His family believed Albuflasa was sentenced to two months in prison, but Albuflasa called his wife earlier this week and told her he would no longer be allowed to make phone calls. He said he was starting a hunger strike in response.
