IDF advances into disputed buffer zone on Syrian side of Golan Heights following regime change in Damascus

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims that Israel's military campaign against Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon led to the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria. He stated that Israel seized a buffer zone in the occupied Golan Heights, a move that violates a 1974 ceasefire agreement with Syria. Netanyahu said that Israel will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on its border, implying that Israel's presence in the buffer zone is to prevent potential threats.
