Israel entered the Golan Heights’ demilitarized buffer zone to counter potential threats from Syrian insurgents after Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia amid the rebel takeover of Damascus.

Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to prevent hostile forces from establishing near Israel’s border.

The IDF reportedly struck targets near Damascus, including a chemical weapons depot, to secure the region, though these strikes remain unconfirmed.

U.S. forces conducted airstrikes against ISIS camps in central Syria, Politico has reported.

Netanyahu highlighted both opportunities and risks following Assad’s fall, expressing readiness for peace with Syrians who seek stability.
