In Syria’s Golan Heights buffer zone, residents fear Israel is making a land grab

A young man who was shot by the Israeli military during a protest against the Israeli presence rests his leg outside his home on Jan. 2 in Golan Heights, Syria. Since the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the Israel military has taken new positions in Golan Heights areas.

After the ouster of Syria’s longtime leader Bashar al-Assad last month, Israel’s military has taken up a new post in the demilitarized buffer zone created in Syria after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
