Satellite images reveal Israel building military bases inside Syrian buffer zone
A statue of late Syrian President Bashar Assad lies destroyed in Dayr Atiyah, Syria, January 5, 2025, after he was removed from power by a rebel offensive in December
SATELLITE images reveal that Israel is building military bases in the Syrian buffer zone, it was reported on Monday.
A report by the Al Jazeera news network says that images taken on December 19 2024 — 11 days after the toppling of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad — and on February 1 2025, show six sites have been built inside the buffer zone.
Another site, outside the buffer zone and well within Syrian territory, also appears to be under construction.
