Israel Calls Syria Buffer Zone Takeover a ‘Temporary Step’

Israel recently deployed forces into the demilitarized buffer zone along its northern border with Syria, following significant shifts in the region. As Syrian rebels, including the group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, made rapid advances and seized areas from President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, Israel’s military intervened to secure the buffer zone near the Golan Heights.

The Israeli military emphasized that this was a temporary measure to protect Israeli citizens and prevent armed groups from crossing into Israeli-controlled territories. Despite this action, Israel clarified that it is not involved in Syria’s internal conflict.
