Israel Bolsters Troop Presence on Golan Heights as Syrian Rebels Advance

The Israeli military increases forces near the Syrian border following the retreat of Syrian government troops in response to rebel attacks.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have deployed additional troops to the Golan Heights, citing security concerns over Syrian rebel advances near the border.
This is the second troop reinforcement announced by Israel within 24 hours, with no specific details disclosed about the scale of the deployment.
Syrian government forces have reportedly withdrawn from the southern cities of Daraa and Suweida after rebel groups attacked military checkpoints.
The Israeli military has stated it is preparing for potential threats, including the possibility of a collapse of the Syrian army or surprise attacks from the border region.
The Golan Heights, captured by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War and later annexed, remains internationally disputed territory.
