Israel Expands Military Presence in Occupied Syrian Territories
The Israeli military continues to build new bases on occupied Syrian land. Recent footage shows IDF preparations for establishing another military outpost on Mount Hermon. This move signals further Israeli expansion and consolidation of control in the region.
Israel is increasing its military presence in Syrian territories, further developing military infrastructure in the occupied Golan Heights. New footage reveals IDF soldiers preparing a site for another base on Mount Hermon.
Expansion of Occupation
Since the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel has controlled the Golan Heights, a territory still considered disputed. In 1981, the Israeli Knesset passed a law extending Israeli sovereignty over the region, but the United Nations and most of the international community rejected this move, recognizing the area as occupied Syrian land.
Recent evidence indicates that Israel continues to militarize the region. Reconnaissance images and videos circulating online show IDF forces building roads, setting up temporary structures, and preparing infrastructure for an expanded military presence.
Strategic Importance of Mount Hermon
Mount Hermon is one of the most strategic points in the region, providing a clear view over large areas of Syria and Lebanon. It also serves as a key surveillance post for monitoring military movements and armed groups.
The construction of an Israeli base on Mount Hermon strengthens Israel’s control over southern Syria, where Iran-backed militias operate. It also further complicates any efforts by Syria to reclaim its lost territories.
International Response
The Syrian government has condemned Israel’s actions, calling them a “blatant violation of international law.” Syrian officials have appealed to the United Nations, urging it to declare the base’s construction illegal. Meanwhile, Israel defends its military expansion as a necessity for “national security” and countering threats from Iran and Hezbollah.
With tensions already high in the region, this latest Israeli move risks further escalating the conflict.
