Israel signals intention to remain in Syria buffer zone
ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today signalled Israel’s intention to permanently remain in the buffer zone at Syria’s border, claiming it would need to remain as a guarantee of security.
After the overthrow of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, Israeli forces invaded the zone near the Golan Heights, established after the 1973 Middle East war.
The military says it has seized additional strategic points nearby.
