UN Accuses Israel of Violating Ceasefire with Golan Heights Construction

The UN warns that Israeli construction along the Alpha Line with Syria may escalate regional tensions, violating a 1974 ceasefire agreement.

  • Israel's construction project in the Golan Heights includes roadways and a buffer zone, extending over 4.6 miles along the Alpha Line.
  • The UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) has reported that Israeli military activities have crossed into the demilitarized zone, breaching the ceasefire terms.
  • Israel claims the construction is for defensive purposes to prevent unauthorized crossings, but has not officially responded to the UN's latest allegations.
  • Satellite imagery reveals extensive engineering works, with trenches, embankments, and fencing visible along the border area.
  • Syria has strongly protested the construction, while the international community continues to view the Golan Heights as occupied Syrian territory.
