Israel Orders IDF to Control Buffer Zone with Syria, Establish Security Zone
Dec 9, 2024, 05:00 AM
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to seize control over the buffer zone between Israel and Syria, following a decision made on Sunday. The move aims to ensure the protection of all Israeli communities in the Golan Heights, both Jewish and Druze, from any threats. Katz's directive includes the establishment of a 'security zone free of heavy strategic weapons and terror infrastructure' within the buffer zone and beyond, targeting strategic weapons, air defense systems, and preventing any attempts to transfer weapons to Lebanon. This action comes after the IDF began its deployment in the area the previous day, with activities continuing overnight to seize additional strategic points. The buffer zone, monitored by the United Nations, is intended to prevent any attempts to transfer weapons to Lebanon and to target strategic weapons and air defense systems.
