Israel has expanded its military operations in Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government on December 8, 2024. Israeli forces have advanced into the demilitarised buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights and taken positions in surrounding areas.
Syria has called on Israel to withdraw from the territories it has occupied and reaffirmed its commitment to the 1974 disengagement agreement, which established arrangements separating Israeli and Syrian forces.
Israel has said its actions in Syria are motivated by security concerns.
