Israel has “seized” territory in Syrian-controlled areas of the Golan Heights, as its military warned Syrians living in five villages close to the Israeli-occupied portion of the strategic area to “stay home”.

    Sad to say that I called Israel seizing land from Syria next a while back. I just didn’t expect it so soon.

    I’m guessing they were involved with toppling Assad, though I haven’t seen anything to support that.

      They did the same shit back in the 90s. I remember constant fucking fighting and murdering until Syria finally caved in and was like “ok fuck it” and just allowed them to settle there. Not sure why they did, I was a kid and didn’t understand the news anyway, but I remember “conflict in the Golan Heights” being in every second broadcast.

      They’re claiming they helped by attacking Hezbollah. And iirc, still bombing places in Syria now.
