Israel moves to seize Syrian buffer zone amid Assad fall
Israel says it is occupying a 155 square mile demilitarized buffer zone along the Golan Heights after Assad’s collapse. Netanyahu and officials frame the move as temporary to stabilize borders while UNDOF monitors protest the breach. The region near Mount Hermon, UN camps, and international reactions are noted, with threats to expand security measures and potential strikes on weapons sites.
