The Israeli enemy has occupied Syrian areas in the Golan Heights under the pretext of establishing buffer zones.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he had ordered the Israeli military to “seize” a UN-patrolled buffer zone between the Israeli- and Syrian-controlled Golan Heights.
The premier said a 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria “has collapsed”, so he “directed the (military) yesterday to seize the buffer zone and the commanding positions nearby.”
“We will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border,” Netanyahu said during a visit to the Mount Bental on the border between occupied Palestine and Syria.
Meanwhile, he claimed credit for starting the chain of events that led to the fall of the Syrian government after the armed opposition entered the capital, Damascus, early on Sunday.
“This is a historic day in the history of the Middle East. This is a direct result of the blows we have inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah, the main supporters of the (President Bashar) Al-Assad regime.”
The Israeli military issued a warning on Sunday to residents of five towns in southern Syria to remain in their homes, as it planned to take action in the areas of Ofania, Quneitra, Hamidieh, Samdaniya al Gharbiya and Qahtaniya.
the Zionist media reported the occupation of Mount Hermon and the Israeli military’s entry into the Syrian Golan several kilometers into the “buffer zone.”
In the same context, Syrian sources reported that Israeli fighter jets bombed the Scientific Research Center in Damascus, and large fires broke out as a result of Israeli airstrikes on the security compound housing intelligence and customs buildings in the Syrian capital.
Earlier, the enemy warplanes carried out more than 10 airstrikes on military sites on the outskirts of Damascus and targeted the Eastern Mountain Range between Lebanon and Syria with several air raids.
