Satellite images show Israel building military bases in Syria buffer zone

Images verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad unit shed light on Israel’s plans after it expanded area of control in Syria. Israel is building military bases in the demilitarised buffer zone with Syria, according to satellite images seen by Al Jazeera’s Sanad verification unit. Israel and Syria struck a ceasefire agreement in 1974 that determined the area, in the Golan Heights, would be a demilitarised buffer zone. That was despite Syria’s new transitional President Ahmed al-Sharaa making clear that his new administration would recognise the 1974 agreement with Israel. Instead, taken along with Israel’s assertion that it would remain on top of Mount Hermon – which lies in Syria – indefinitely, and its track record of annexing the occupied Golan Heights, the Israelis could potentially be planning to stay in the newly-entered areas for the long haul.
