Israel is reportedly expanding its military activities into Syria by constructing developments along the Alpha Line, a buffer zone between Israel and Syria, which violates a ceasefire agreement.

The territorial dispute over the Golan Heights remains contentious; Israel seized this area during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and annexed it in 1981, a move deemed illegal by a UN Security Council resolution.

The Trump administration's recognition of Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019 continues to influence regional tensions.

Experts suggest that Israel's recent actions are part of a broader strategy to consolidate control over the Golan Heights amid ongoing military offensives against Hamas and Hezbollah since the conflict escalated on October 7, 2023.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claim these construction efforts are necessary for national defense against potential terrorist threats and to secure its borders.

Israeli incursions in response to the conflict have reportedly been occurring at a rate of three times a week since early October, further exacerbating regional tensions.

Israeli military operations have intensified against targets in Lebanon and Syria, resulting in significant casualties, including airstrikes in Damascus and Palmyra.

Recent aerial footage observed by the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) shows approximately 4.6 miles of construction by Israeli forces along the Alpha Line.

This construction includes ditches and berms intended to restrict movement across the ceasefire line, which UNDOF has identified as encroaching into the area of separation.

UNDOF has reported multiple violations of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement due to Israeli activities in the demilitarized zone.

The ongoing military activities by Israel and the lack of international intervention raise concerns about a potential increase in conflict and instability across the Middle East, with implications for international peace and security.
