With the collapse of the Assad regime, Syria is facing growing instability, particularly along Israel’s northern border. In response, Israel has taken control of a small section of Syrian land to prevent hostile forces, such as Iranian-backed militias or terrorist groups, from establishing a presence near its borders. This move is crucial for ensuring the safety and security of Israeli citizens in an increasingly uncertain region.
Israel’s decision is a strategic, defensive action aimed at creating a buffer zone and neutralizing emerging threats before they can escalate. The country is committed to protecting its borders and maintaining stability in the region, especially as the power vacuum in Syria could lead to the rise of hostile forces that pose a direct threat.
Israel is focused on stabilizing the area and safeguarding its interests until Syria’s political situation becomes more stable, ensuring the protection of its people while avoiding unnecessary escalation.
