Israeli incursions into post-Assad Syria spark UN alarm and heighten regional security concerns

Israel has expanded its military presence in southern Syria following the fall of the Assad regime, extending control far beyond previous lines and into territories dozens of kilometres inside Syria. The Israeli army's actions, condemned by the UN as a breach of the 1974 accord, include annexing land, expelling residents, and restricting civilian movement. Israel positions itself as a protector of minority groups, deepening sectarian divisions, while the new Syrian government calls these actions illegal occupation. The situation has drawn international criticism and complicated efforts for regional stability and peace. Backed by US recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, Israel's air and ground strikes have targeted military sites but also affected civilians. The ongoing conflict highlights unresolved issues stemming from the 1967 occupation of the Golan Heights, alongside the West Bank and Gaza. As the world watches closely, the fate of this strategic region and its people remains uncertain. Al Jazeera's Mahmoud Abdelwahed reports from Quneitra, Syria.
