We are witnessing the total collapse of the UN peacekeeping infrastructure that was meant to keep threats away from Israel’s borders, forcing Israel to take action—literally taking UN positions—to do the job itself.
Israel Defense Forces
In accordance with the situational assessment following the recent events in #Syria, including the entry of armed personnel into the buffer zone, the IDF has deployed forces in the buffer zone and in several other places necessary for its defense, to ensure the safety of the communities of the Golan Heights and the citizens of Israel. We emphasize that the IDF is not interfering with the internal events in Syria. The IDF will continue to operate as long as necessary in order to preserve the buffer zone and defend Israel and its civilians.
