It recently became known that Israeli tanks left the buffer zone and began advancing through Syrian territory in the direction of Damascus.

This military equipment was spotted approximately 20 kilometers from the capital of the Arab Republic.

Israel Defense Forces officials have not yet commented on this information.

However, the IDF previously reported that Israel had deployed infantry and armored forces along the Syrian border.

There are also paratroopers there for defense and prevention of potential threats.

Two days ago, on December 8, the Israeli army announced the deployment of troops in the buffer zone on the border with Syria.

According to the head of the Israeli government, Benjamin Netanyahu, Tel Aviv took this step in connection with the latest events in the neighboring country.

The actions taken by Israel are defensive in nature and are a temporary measure, the Prime Minister assured.
