IDF Moves Into Golan Heights Buffer Zone, Amid Fall Of Assad Regime In Syria

GOLAN HEIGHTS, UNSPECIFIED - DECEMBER 9: Israeli soldiers stand near tanks near the border with Syria on the Israeli side of the border on December 9, 2024 in Golan Heights. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to temporarily take control of a buffer zone that separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from Syrian territory. The demilitarized zone was established in a 1974 agreement between Israel and Syria, which Netanyahu says has collapsed since Syrian opposition forces toppled the regime of Bashar al-Assad over the weekend.
