Mount Hermon border crossing: 100 HaBashan settlers detained by IDF

About 100 HaBashan Pioneers activists crossed from the Israel-Syria buffer into Syria on Mount Hermon and were detained by the IDF, which condemned the border crossing. The group claims the authorities used heavy force and confiscated phones, and says it intends to establish a civilian settlement to cement Israeli control in the area. The HaBashan movement has crossed the boundary previously, with earlier detentions in May and April, amid ongoing tensions in the Golan Heights with Syrian militants and concerns over Israeli presence.

Israel Fortifies Winter Presence on Mount Hermon Amid Regional Tensions

Israel's defense minister has ordered troops to prepare for winter on Mount Hermon, a strategic location in the Golan Heights, following Israel's recent control of the area after the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. This move has drawn criticism from the UN, which calls for Israel's withdrawal from the buffer zone established by a 1974 disengagement agreement. The UN Secretary-General expressed concern over violations of Syria's sovereignty and the extensive Israeli airstrikes in Syria, while Israel cites security concerns and the collapse of the Syrian government as justification for its actions.

This move reflects fears of retaliation from anti-Assad forces and a desire for protection, as Israel has historically shielded the Druze community. The call for annexation is seen as a response to Syria's instability and the Druze's need for security and autonomy.

Israel Expands into Syrian Territory Post-Assad Collapse
