Israel has begun to restrict the movement of civilians in southern Syria, amid silence from the country’s new Islamist-led interim government.
On April 24, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) dropped leaflets over the town of al-Hmidaiah in the northern countryside of al-Qunitra, warning sheep herders from approaching the buffer zone adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights.
“To sheep herders
We would like to warn sheep herders that approaching the barrels or wandering near the line area may put you in danger and harm your livelihood!
You must adhere to the instructions for your own safety,” the leaflets read.
The IDF occupied the buffer zone hours after the fall of the regime of former president Bashar al-Assad last December. The military established nine strategic posts there. Also as a part of the invasion, the military also launched hundreds of strikes, destroying much of the country’s military capabilities.
Since then, the military has dropped leaflets close to the buffer zone more than once warning civilians from moving in certain areas.
The IDF on April 3 dropped leaflets over the town of Koya in the western Daraa countryside with instructions preventing civilians from using a key road. The move came after local gunmen attacked a group of Israeli troops near the town. Several strikes hit nearby areas in response, killing at least 11.
“To all residents of Koya town and the surrounding area
We would like to inform you that, in light of what happened in your town, you are prohibited from moving while armed in and around the village. You are also prohibited from crossing the Wadi-Sharia road, which is marked with an X toward the Yarmouk Basin.
We warn you, and you must follow the instructions to maintain order,” the military said in the leaflets at the time.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in February that southern Syria must be completely demilitarized, warning that Israel would not accept the presence of the forces of the interim government anywhere near its territory.
Later in March, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that troops will remain deployed to the nine posts in the buffer zone “indefinitely.”
Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the IDF, approved earlier this month plans for “continued defense and offensive operations” in Syria during a visit to troops deployed in the buffer zone in the south of the country.
All in all, the IDF appears to be planning to stay in the buffer zone for the long term. The lack of any reaction from the Syrian government could even encourage Israel to annex the zone and expand its control in southern Syria even further in the near future.

new russia capital is kiew.
first they must string zelensky up and make him dance ajig at the end of the rope!
the greater israel wet dream seem to be achievable at present. turkey and iran must hurry to send the jews on the run from palestine that the jews have stolen from the palestinians. no neo-osman empire with the jews in palestine and iran has been threatened by the jews for the last 50 years so they are entitled to kick the jews to kingdom come, jointly with turkey! the world will be a better place without the jews!
it seems iran is too weak and turkey fully serves israel. so it wont happen. the zionists are winning with the help of all these zogbot infiltraters in our governments and institution. its time we remove the jews from our governments and institutions otherwise its too late and they will have pushed us in a global war that we cannot stop.
dictator erdogan is a servant of the zionists and the jews. he destroys turkey syria armenia europe with islamist immigration and everyone his jewish masters tell him to. he will attack iran not israel. because he serves israel. he will ethnically cleanse syria of christians armenians and alawites and destroy the churches so israel has an easier time to colonizs and annex and settle the land.
thanks to putin!!!
you stupid twat, its hts that’s responsible are you bloody stupid?
putin haters opetate from a special padded room, a safe place, within a safe place, where they can trigger without hurting themselves too much…
he admires jews who groomed him for his position. hes just as much under their control as all other leaders from zelensky to trump from president xi to erdogan they all serve the jews
buffer zone = illegal land theft for greater israel regional dictatorship
its part of the jewish landgrab for their greater israel colonial project soon these druze who betrayed the syrian government will find out what it is to live under jewish occupation and being bullied and harrassed all the time by jewish settlers who want to drive them from their homes. they will find out what the palestinians have endured for all those years. the only way to reverse this is when syrians remove the julani government and rebuild their military.
