Israeli troops intensified operations in the U.N.-monitored buffer zone between Syria and the Golan Heights, responding to ongoing security threats and strategic changes following the recent ousting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Israel's military forces increased their presence in the U.N.-monitored buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Tuesday, a significant move amid escalating regional tensions. This operation comes after Israel agreed to double its population on the Golan Heights while addressing security threats from Syria, despite recent leadership changes within Syrian factions.
Israel's presence in the buffer zone highlights its commitment to safeguarding the Golan Heights, an area Israel captured from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War. This includes taking control of a Syrian military post on Mount Hermon, a strategic position overlooking Damascus.
Ahmad al-Sharaa, the leader of the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which helped depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, accused Israel of using false pretexts to justify attacks on Syrian soil. However, Sharaa, known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, has shown a willingness to avoid prolonged conflicts as Syria focuses on recovery and rebuilding efforts.
Israel's operations in the demilitarised zones established after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war showcase a persistent strategy to secure the region while addressing potential threats from rebel forces and Damascus-based security dynamics.
As Israel solidifies its military stance in these strategic locations, the situation remains highly fluid, with regional alliances and territorial control shifting rapidly. Continued operations in the buffer zone signal Israel's determination to maintain control over the Golan Heights while navigating Syria's internal challenges and regional instability.
