Israeli occupation forces have advanced further into southern Syria, as a UN source has confirmed that the Israeli troops are obstructing the work of UN peacekeepers in the occupied Golan Heights, Media sources reported.
Israeli soldiers entered the town of Al-Hurriya in Quneitra province. According to Al Jazeera, local residents of the town said that the occupation forces asked them to evacuate their homes with the aim of annexing it to the so-called buffer zones near the border with the Zionist state. Some residents in the village of Rasm Al-Rawadi were forcibly displaced.
Newsweek reported that the UN sent reinforcements to Syria following the Israeli army’s incursion into the demilitarised buffer zone that has been in place for nearly fifty years.
A UN diplomatic source confirmed that the UN Disengagement Observer Force has reinforced its positions in the Golan Heights.
He explained that the Israeli occupation army has transferred forces to the area, restricting the movement of peacekeeping forces significantly and hindering their operational tasks.
After the fall of ousted Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad’s regime at the weekend, the enemy air force has launched hundreds of air strikes on Syria, targeting alleged chemical weapon depots, air defense systems, ammunition storage facilities and Syrian naval vessels.
