Syrians have staged rallies in Syria’s southwestern province of Quneitra in protest at Israel’s decision to maintain an indefinite military presence at the peak of Mount Hermon and in the so-called buffer zone.

The Israeli regime reportedly informed Syria’s new administration that the occupation troops will remain stationed at a so-called “buffer zone” inside the occupied Syrian Golan Heights "for now."

The UN has slammed Israel for violating a 50-year-old ceasefire agreement with Syria.

The Israeli minister of military affairs says he has ordered the occupation forces to prepare to stay atop the Syrian side of the strategic Jabal al-Shaykh throughout the winter.

The Israeli war minister says together with Benjamin Netanyahu he instructed the military to create a weapons-free zone in southern Syria following the fall of President Assad.

The United Nations criticizes the Israeli regime for expanding its occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights.

Iran strongly denounces the Israeli regime’s repeated attacks on Syria’s infrastructures, and its expanding its occupation of the Arab country’s Golan Heights.
