Israel is constructing a road along the Alpha Line, which separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from Syria. Satellite images show asphalt being laid, with Israeli troops entering the demilitarized zone, violating cease-fire rules. This construction began in late September and follows recent Israeli military activities, including new roadways near Gaza and demolitions in Lebanon. The United Nations confirmed the troop presence in the demilitarized zone. Despite these developments, there has been no significant violence reported along the Alpha Line, which has been monitored by U.N. peacekeepers since 1974.
