Press TV – Dec 12, 2024
Israeli forces have advanced further into southern Syria after their ground troops moved deeper into the Syrian Golan Heights, effectively expanding their occupation.
Sources said Israeli soldiers entered the town of al-Hurriya in Quneitra province on Thursday as part of the regime’s unprecedented onslaught on Syria following President Bashar al-Assad’s ouster.
Local sources said Israeli forces also carried out a forced evacuation of the residents of the village of Rasem al-Ruwadi in the region.
Israeli occupying forces on Wednesday evening stormed the towns of Ruwaihinah and Umm Batna in the central countryside of Quneitra as well.
Residents of the town said the occupying regime forces asked them to evacuate their homes to annex them to the so-called buffer zones. The incursion involved tanks and infantry units, during which several houses were searched.
It came after Israeli minister of military affairs Israel Katz said the regime is planning a “sterile defense zone” in southern Syria in violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement between the two sides.
Community leaders and residents of Quneitra have refused to evacuate their villages. They have collectively decided to remain in their homes in the face of Israeli advances.
Since the fall of President Assad, the Israeli regime has carried out almost 500 airstrikes across Syria, targeting critical civilian and military infrastructures
Several regional nations have denounced the Israeli aggression, reaffirming their commitment to protect the Arab country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
On Thursday, a UN source said Israeli troops were obstructing the work of UN peacekeepers in the occupied Golan Heights.
He explained that the Israeli army has transferred forces to the area, restricting the movement of peacekeeping forces significantly and hindering their operational tasks.
After the fall of President Assad at the weekend, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the cancellation of the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria.
He ordered the deployment of Israeli forces in the buffer zone in the Golan, which separates the occupied part of the heights from the rest of Syrian territory.
Netanyahu also said the Golan Heights, an area Israel captured during the 1967 war with Syria and has occupied ever since, would be “forever part of Israel”, thanking US President-elect Donald Trump once again for supporting the regime’s occupation in 2019.
The United Nations and most of the international community recognize the Golan as part of Syria.
The Israeli prime minister has noted that he had promised on October 9, 2023 to “change the face of the Middle East”.
Israeli soldiers have reportedly taken positions 10 km beyond the buffer zone in the town of Qatana, just 25 km from the Syrian capital.
Many Syrians and others watching the fast-moving pace of events say Netanyahu is using this moment of change in their country to permanently seize further territory.
“They are saying they will give it back, but they are already occupying the Golan Heights which they haven’t given back. What would make you believe they will give this back?” Haid Haid, a senior consulting associate fellow at Chatham House, told Middle East Eye.
Rime Allaf, a Syrian writer and political analyst, posted on X that Israel’s actions are “an illegal and immoral literal invasion of yet more land & a theft of Syrians’ right to their own army, destroyed by Israel the minute the monstrous regime fell”.
Ameer Makhoul, a Palestinian activist and writer, said Israel’s “flagrant violations” were being carried out with little outcry from the international community.
He believes the goal is to make the new Syrian government “accept the fait accompli that it imposes through the expanded occupation and by destroying Syria forces and cancelling its sovereignty”.
Israel has wiped out Syrian naval vessels, sea-to-sea missiles, helicopters and planes, including the entire fleet of MiG-29 fighter jets and stockpiles of ammunition in attacks on at least five air bases.
The regime says it is destroying any means by which militant groups in Syria could attack Israel. But Haid said even before the Israeli strikes this week, Syria would have been unable to effectively attack Israel with its existing military infrastructure.
Now that Israel has essentially destroyed any capabilities it had to strike, he again questioned why it would need to take positions in or beyond the demilitarized zone.
He also pointed to reports that Israel and militant groups in Syria have previously come to successful arrangements whereby Israel provided emergency aid and medical care to militants so long as the groups did not attack the Zionist regime.
He said with militants and Takfiri groups in control, Syria has now been left defenseless.
“The problem now is no matter what happens, the Syrians might not be able to protect themselves, not only against Israel, but against other threats that might be domestic,” Haid said.
Netanyahu said late on Tuesday that Israel won’t interfere in internal affairs in Syria.
Some observers said they don’t buy his promise, saying they believe Israel, in addition to seizing territory for keeps, is trying to halt a functional, post-Assad Syrian state before it can even start.
Many folk (not all) start to rely on handouts and start to see it as their right.
Unfortunately due to there being far too many people in England the helpers/givers are swamped by the beggers. There was always room for beggers and they used to get help but over the years the amount of people on the street has multiplied by 100s and to make it worse others have seen it as an opportunity to make money from them like the magazine “Big Issue”, the folk selling them have no transport and only get a fraction of what they get for this left wing rag
Sadly, this country is really on its knees and I can see a “nasty” time ahead, with a massive increase in theiving & fighting drugs and migrant problems Our government (bothy partys) has promised a massive amount of financial backing to other countries, and that it takes up ALL our countries income.
And now the government have put an inheritance Tax so farmers cant hand over their farms to their children so it makes sense for farmers to sell part of their land, Now this in turn is allowing Government to bringing out another bill to allow builders to build on farmers and Green-belt, Government knew exactly what they were doing But didn’t think outside the box most farmers will not be able to survive with less land. England will end up full of migrant houses and importing all food at very expensive prices. It will end up as a fight for survival for most. Bad/Sad times ahead.
welcome to communist UK
If Israel occupies too far too fast before it can protect its land grabs by putting in people loyal to it their Greater Israel can become Too Big to Hold Israel. And if Israel Mk II goes down it can take Mk I with it.

‘They are not welcome!’ Reform MP fury as 609 illegal migrants arrive in single day
Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has voiced outrage after official government statistics revealed an enormous number of illegal migrants reached Britain yesterday.
The Home Office confirmed that a whopping 609 individuals arrived on Britain’s shore on Thursday, breaking what had been a sustained run of days with few crossings.
illegal ? what about those they say are legal ?
The government must stop this people trafficking they cant even look after their own people
“Netanyahu said late on Tuesday that Israel won’t interfere in internal affairs in Syria.”
He means that he will allow the “rebels” to terrorize, murder, and rape at will or secretly at his behest. And he will then say that he had nothing to do with it.
Those Syrians who supported the overthrow of Assad will be howling soon enough.
This will be coming to us here in the U.S. and to European countries in some form or another once things are “sorted out” in the ME in favor of the fiends. Check out the history of the Bolshevik take-over of Russia for a preview of what that will be like. I suggest that you ready yourselves to fight. This will, at the very least, require cooperation with your neighbors down the street. I say this to myself as much as to you all reading this!
Mongrels vs. mongrels. Scum vs. scum. Not my fight.
Game plan of ZWOG (US/Israel/Russia): demolish various wog nations/regions into anarchy/rubble & then transport the ‘refugees’ (Syrians/Palestinians) to white populated regions: US/UK/EU/OZ-NZ.
‘We must help the refugees’ the white humanitarian western morons cry out.

Israel’s “troupes” hinder UN peace keepers in Syria? Hope that King Bibi’s holy forces do not harm the White helmets during their “investigations” of the usual gassing of Syrian citizens, Assad’s crimes against humanity and all the left behind corpses that were found super crisp in ovens in Damascus prisons! Strange that same old news from the same script book that changed the world when EVIL was destroyed in Krautheim not so long ago still work like a charm in kosher Oxymoronia.
So lets remember one of the most important facts here: Syria always belonged to Israel and surely that was the case before Israel even was founded.
All sounds a tad toooo much oxymoronic!
Britain is good at fighting but never does any; Israel fights but is not very good at it
