Israeli forces advance into Syrian buffer zone near Damascus
10 December 2024 07:14 GMT
Israeli Army Radio reported that Israeli forces are currently within the so-called buffer zone between Israel and Syria and approximately 30 kilometres from Damascus.
Taking advantage of the withdrawal of forces loyal to ousted President Bashar al-Assad, the Israeli military has advanced into strategic areas of the Quneitra Governorate in southern Syria.
Al Jazeera Arabic revealed that Israeli forces have taken control of Mount Hermon’s summit and several nearby villages within the demilitarised zone, reaching up to 18 kilometres deep into Syrian territory.
This demilitarised zone is governed by the 1974 disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel, making Israeli incursions a clear violation.
