Israeli military deploys tanks into Syria's Golan region after clashes with rebels

Israeli troops have crossed into Syria's Golan region, deploying tanks to secure the area following recent clashes. The Israeli military confirmed this action, citing the need to protect its citizens from potential threats. This marks a significant shift after the fall of Damascus, where Syrian rebels have gained ground. The situation in the region remains tense as both sides prepare for further confrontations. The Israeli military's move into Syria is part of ongoing efforts to maintain control over the Golan Heights, which Israel has occupied since 1967.
