Earlier, Athens News reported that the Israeli army continues its invasion of Syria and is approaching Damascus. According to Arab media, Israeli troops have advanced beyond the former buffer zone near the border near Golan Heights and reached the settlement Katanalocated in 21 kilometers from Damascus.


It is reported that Israeli troops entered several villages on the outskirts of Damascus, but this information has no visual confirmation.

Arab countries including Egypt And Arab Leaguehave already criticized Israel's actions, calling them “illegal occupation of Syria”reports The Washington Post. Grouping “Hayat Tahrir al-Sham”which controls Damascus, has not yet commented or condemned the Israeli invasion, nor has it Türkiyewhich is considered the main patron of the groups that overthrew Bashar al-Assad.

At the same time US expresses support for Israel's invasion of Syria. A State Department spokesman said: “The Syrian army has abandoned its positions in the area of ​​the agreed Israeli-Syrian buffer zone, potentially creating a vacuum that could be filled by terrorist organizations that threaten Israel.”.

Sources The Washington Post reports that Israeli authorities intend to “act quickly” in Syria, while there is a transformation of power there.

Turkish armed forces entered the Jarabulus region of Aleppo province.

For decades, Israel's northern defenses were obscured by Syria's Mount Hermon. This is no longer the case. The most important natural fortress in the region is in Israeli hands. Israel did this quietly, rushing into positions abandoned by Syria and occupying them without a fight.


Israel explains its actions by saying that it does not want Islamists to take advantage of the power vacuum and create a threat to Israeli forces, but in fact it looks like Israel has decided to take advantage of the situation and is expanding its occupation zone. It is noteworthy that “victors of Assad” from “Hayat Tahrir al-Sham” So far they have not responded in any way to the actions of Israeli troops.

From the author: battack, take control of the territory of a sovereign state and everything is ok, the world community considers everything that is happening absolutely normal. We have to give credit to the management Israel and Turkey, they use their chance to expand their territory to the maximum. This happens very rarely.

In other words, taking the opportunity Syria is being actively dismantled. Interested parties will take the most tasty morsels for themselves, leaving the desert and hungry, and therefore angry, cities to the still euphoric Syrians.

The participants of the “deriban”, not without reason (the experience of the genocide of the population of the Gaza Strip confirms these words), hope that they will cope with attempts to take revenge, but the territory will not be returned. Where will the population of these places go? Nobody really cares about this.
