The United Nations has accused Israel of engaging in “severe violations” of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria. The UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) stated that Israel has conducted engineering activities encroaching on a key buffer zone in the Golan Heights, violating the ceasefire between Israel and Syria since 1974.
Satellite imagery shows that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been excavating near Jubata Al Khashab, Syria, with a large trench stretching almost five miles. The construction, which began in July, includes the use of excavators, armored vehicles, and soldiers, with main battle tanks occasionally present in the demilitarized zone.
