Текущая ситуация в Сирии: какие факты известны о действиях Израиля после падения режима Асада?
Following the capture of Damascus by Syrian rebels, Israeli forces began to occupy strategic sites within Syria. This event marks the first instance of crossing the border into Syria since the conclusion of the Yom Kippur War in 1974.

The situation in Syria is reported by Glavpost, referencing politexpert.net.

Israeli authorities emphasize that the measures being taken are defensive and aimed at safeguarding the country from threats posed by terrorist groups.

“Our objective is to prevent these sites from being used for attacks on Israel,” stated a representative of the Israeli military, commenting on the seizure of abandoned military bases in Syria.

Arab states have strongly condemned Israel's actions, accusing it of illegal occupation. The Arab League and the Egyptian government have warned that such actions could provoke a new escalation of conflict. They have called on the international community to intervene and resolve the situation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the operation is temporary. However, regional experts note that the current situation may extend, given the heightened military activity and instability in Syria.

Since Bashar al-Assad's flight, Syria has been in a state of chaos. The Israeli army is actively patrolling the border and searching for weapon stockpiles, including chemical weapons, to prevent them from falling into the hands of radicals. The military is strengthening control over the buffer zone, but this raises concern among neighboring countries.

Experts warn that new military actions could escalate into a long-term conflict, threatening the security of the entire region.

It is also worth mentioning that Zelensky did not want to discuss with Trump Ukraine's accession to NATO – media on the specific reason.
