    Israeli enemy for 75 years no longer has a functioning armed forces

    Israeli tanks approach Damascus beyond buffer zone, Netanyahu says previous demarcation line no longer valid

    Hundreds of military targets have been targeted by the IAF in a massive surge of airpower, that has completely destroyed the Syrian Air Force, as well as naval assets docked at Syrian ports.

    In addition, most military facilities of note in-country have also been destroyed, in a once-in-a-lifetime chance to wipe out a 75 year enemy's military capability.

    Israeli tanks are now as close as 10km from Damascus according to local reports, indicating the IDF is planning to establish a long-term presence in Syria.

    The IDF has established a new base at Mount Hermon.


    Since May 31, 1974, Israel and Syria have maintained a disengagement agreement that was signed at the end of the Yom Kippur War, which broke out on October 6, 1973. The agreement, monitored by the UNDOF (United Nations Disengagement Observer Force) - an armed force established based on UN Security Council Resolution 350, is intended to keep peace along the border, defining a demilitarized buffer zone that should be free of military presence except for UN forces serving as international observers.

    The buffer zone is between the Alpha Line (the border between the countries) and the Bravo Line.

    During the civil war in the previous decade, the agreement was challenged from time to time. Currently, due to the collapse of the Syrian regime and the rebels taking control, it is once again significantly challenged. In light of these developments, the IDF has deployed temporarily in the buffer zone to preserve it and protect the Israeli border.
