Israel positions forces in Golan buffer zone following developments in Syria

Israel has repositioned its forces within the buffer zone along the Israel-Syria border in the Golan Heights. This marks the first deployment since the 1974 Agreement on Disengagement, responding to recent developments in Syria. The Israeli Defense Forces stated the move was necessary due to armed personnel entering the buffer zone. They emphasized that the IDF is not intervening in Syria's internal events. In Syria, rebel fighters have reportedly entered Damascus, and there are claims that President Bashar al-Assad has fled. The Syrian Prime Minister expressed a willingness to cooperate with any new leadership chosen by the people.
