Israeli forces enter Golan Heights buffer zone for first time in 50 years after Assad's fall

Israeli forces have entered the demilitarized zone along the Golan Heights for the first time in 50 years, seizing territory after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the ceasefire agreement with Syria has collapsed. Israeli warplanes have conducted airstrikes on weapons facilities near Damascus, targeting sites believed to be linked to Iranian military activities. The Israeli military warned residents in southern Syria to stay indoors due to ongoing fighting. The takeover by armed rebel groups, including Hayat al-Tahrir al-Sham, has shifted the geopolitical landscape in the region. Assad has fled to Russia, marking a significant change in influence for Iran and Russia in Syria.
