As the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad collapsed, Israel began to make its claims over the Golan Heights more explicit. Israel has been illegally occupying the Golan Heights.
On the 9th, the Israeli army launched a large-scale air strike on military facilities in Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said that there were air strikes on more than 250 locations in Syria in the past 48 hours.
SOHR said that Israel destroyed the most important military facilities, including airports, logistics warehouses, aircraft squadrons, and military communications stations, in most of Syria’s administrative districts.
At a press conference that day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thoughtlessly said that the Golan Heights will forever be part of Israel and that only the United States recognizes Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
On the 8th, the Israeli army captured the Syrian military base on Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights and entered the buffer zone where UN forces are stationed.
The international community is protesting Israel’s occupation of the buffer zone east of the Golan Heights, where Syria and Israel agreed to a ceasefire in 1974.
The United Nations has criticized Israel for violating its agreement with Syria. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced it as a continued violation of international law and a decision to destroy Syria’s opportunity to restore security, safety and territorial integrity.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the military invasion of Syrian territory by the Zionist regime at a time when Syrians were dealing with changes brought about by regime change, and called on the UN Security Council to stop Israel.
The US Department of State made a reckless remark that it understands that Israel’s occupation is not permanent and that the US supports the 1974 agreement.
In addition, Netanyahu blasted the collapse of the Assad regime as a direct result of the powerful blows to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran by the Israel.
