The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it has deployed troops to the buffer zone with Syria to secure the Golan Heights. This move comes amid a swift offensive by armed groups that have seized control of significant areas in Syria, including the capital, Damascus.
In a statement released on Sunday, the IDF stressed that the troops are not interfering in Syria’s “internal events.”
“The IDF will continue to operate as long as necessary in order to preserve the buffer zone and defend Israel and its civilians,” the statement read.
Israeli tanks have reportedly moved into the buffer zone near Quneitra, close to the Golan Heights, which have been under Israeli occupation since the 1967 Six-Day War. Artillery strikes were launched in the region, although the specific targets remain unclear. Local sources say that Israeli patrols entered the town of Khan Arnabah in Quneitra province, killing one man.
Israel has a history of conducting airstrikes in Syria, often targeting border crossings and urban areas.
The situation in Syria continues to evolve rapidly as militant groups, including Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham, assert control over key regions following their entry into Damascus on Saturday.
