Israel has deployed troops across the Syrian border for the first time since the official end of the Yom Kippur War in 1974, carrying out airstrikes inside Syria.
The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu in an exit for the media, spoke openly about Israel's ambitions for the Golan Heights, considering them as Jewish land.
"We are taking all necessary actions to ensure our security in relation to the new situation created in Syria. Together with Defense Minister Israel Katz and with the support of all cabinet members, I instructed the Israel Defense Forces to capture the buffer zone between us and Syria and the control positions, writes A2.
After the fall of the regime in Damascus, Hamas is more isolated than ever. He hoped for the consolidation of positions, instead he got the dissolution of these positions. He expected help from Hezbollah, we got it from him. He was waiting for help. From Iran, we got it from him too. He was waiting for help from the Assad regime, but that will not happen again, opening another door to promote a deal will return our hostages. We turn every stone upside down and will not for a moment relinquish the sacred mission of returning all our hostages, living and dead alike."
And the State of Israel is establishing its position as a center of power in our region as it has not been for decades. Those who cooperate with us benefit greatly. Those who attack us lose a lot. We want to see a different Syria, both for our own good and for the good of the Syrian people. Even today we extend our hand to those who want to live with us in peace and we will cut off the hand of those who try to harm us.
Today everyone understands the great importance of our being there - in the Golan, and not at the foot of the Golan. Our control of the Golan Heights guarantees our security, guarantees our sovereignty. And on this occasion, I would like to thank my friend, President-elect Donald Trump, for accepting my request to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019. Today this historic recognition gains more validity and importance large, the Golan Heights will forever be an inseparable part of the State of Israel. (A2 Televizion)
