Israeli army enters Golan buffer zone, violating 1974 agreement, says UN

The Israeli army has entered the demilitarized zone in the Golan Heights, violating the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria, according to a UN spokesman. Israeli troops are reported to be present in at least three locations within the buffer zone. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the military action on Sunday, citing concerns over potential armed individuals entering the area. This move follows the recent instability in Syria after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad. The 1974 agreement established a buffer zone to separate Israeli and Syrian territories, monitored by UN peacekeepers. The UN has urged both countries to uphold the agreement and maintain stability in the region.
