The Israeli army crossed the Syrian border for the first time in the last 50 years, deepening tensions in the region. The actions come amid recent statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who confirmed that the Golan Heights, a strategically important region in southern Syria, will remain under Israeli control. The Golan Heights, annexed by Israel in 1981, remains a point of international dispute. Many countries, including Syria, consider this territory to be illegally occupied.

However, Israel calls it important for its national security, citing threats from neighboring countries. The actions of the Israeli army provoked a sharp reaction from the Syrian authorities and their allies, including Iran and Russia. Official Damascus condemned the violation of sovereignty, saying that such actions only exacerbate the confrontation.

The international community also calls on the parties to exercise restraint, fearing an escalation of the conflict. According to analysts, these events may lead to a new round of confrontation in the region. The situation on the border between Syria and Israel remains tense, and the prospects for a diplomatic settlement seem increasingly remote.
