IDF Tanks Reach Just 25km From Damascus As Netanyahu Declares Golan Is 'Ours Forever'

With Assad overthrown and Syria in shambles, Israel has declared the permanent annexation of the Golan Heights. "The Golan Heights," announced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "will forever be an inseparable part of the State of Israel."
He said that control over this historical Syrian territory "guarantees" Israel's security and sovereignty and is of "great importance". The announcement came as Israel pounded with airstrikes numerous Syrian bases, abandoned army assets, parked warplanes and helicopters, and even naval ships off Latakia.
The attacks kept going throughout the night, as Israeli and international sources describe:
Regional security sources and officers within the now-fallen Syrian army who spoke to Reuters described Tuesday morning’s airstrikes as the heaviest yet, hitting military installations and airbases across Syria, destroying dozens of helicopters and jets, as well as Republican Guard assets in and around Damascus.
"The rough tally of 200 raids overnight had left nothing of the Syrian army’s assets, said the sources," the report adds.
Netanyahu further hailed that this signals the start of a "new and dramatic chapter" in the history of the Middle East. He called Assad a "central element of Iran’s axis of evil" but that Iran over-invested and everything collapsed.
Israeli media has further confirmed that after Israeli forces crossed the Golan area deeper into southern Syria, establishing a so-called security and buffer zone, IDF tanks are closer to the Syrian capital than ever before in history.
The Times of Israel details:
An Israeli military incursion into southern Syria has reached about 25 kilometers (16 miles) southwest of the capital Damascus, two regional security sources and one Syrian security source says.
The Syrian security source says Israeli troops reached Qatana, which is 10 kilometers (6 miles) into Syrian territory, east of a demilitarized zone separating the Golan Heights from Syria.
Despite the claims, the IDF has indicated that it only plans to operate on the ground inside the buffer zone, and not beyond it.
Some critics of the now ruling Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have pointed out that this supposed "revolution" has resulted in a situation where Turkey is carving up the north and Israel is carving up the south, while the whole country is defenseless, without anti-air protection, against Israeli strikes
.Meanwhile Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz also had a message in the wake of the dramatic changes in Syria. He warned HTS and the armed factions now in control, saying that if they threaten Israel they will be attacked relentlessly:
"The IDF has acted in the last few days to attack and destroy strategic capabilities that threaten the State of Israel," Katz says, warning the rebels that "whoever follows [ousted president Bashar] al-Assad’s footsteps will end up like Assad did. We won’t allow an extremist Islamic terror entity to act against Israel from beyond its borders… we will do anything to remove the threat."
On Sunday into Monday, Israeli warplanes had also targeted Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles, but it's unlikely that they were able to destroy everything. More sporadic attacks are expected, and the situation remains extremely fluid and unpredictable.

This is one of the saddest days in history for the Syrian people; the brutality of the Zionist regime backed by corporate America inches its way into world domination. The great reset starts to envelop slowly, and the might of the American and Zionist military will be used to control and reign supremacy over all freedom-loving beings.
A few reminders about Al -Julani, who is now running Syria:
1. Videos have appeared showing Jolani’s soldiers cutting off the heads of people, of families, even of CHILDREN. Beheading children in front of their parents or viceversa. Two who have commented on this are Andrei Martynov,Russian military analyst, and Pepe Escobar,brilliant Brazilian journalist.
2. The head of Al-Qaida in Iraq was ZARQAWI. The second in importance was Jolani. Jolani is known to have personally cut off the heads of hostages. Zarqawi and Jolani did not consider Shias to be real Muslims, who are 60% of the population ,so they sent suicide bombers who killed at least 100,000 Shia civilians.Not soldiers. Jolani helped do it.
One of those who defeated Al-Qaida in Iraq was IRAN (Shia country)it was SOLEIMANI,head of Iran 250,000 Revolutionary Guards,soldiers who are very religious. They fought Al-Qaida in Iraq and also American soldiers in Iraq,800 American soldiers were killed. Soldiers,not civilians,
3.Jolani met al-Bagradi who in 2014 founded ISIS and Jolani was? He was the SECOND in importance in ISIS.Then fought with al-Bagradi.Al-Bagradi was the CALIPH of ISIS in 2014. They conquered 40% of Iraq and 33% of Syria. Jolani later headed Al-Qaida in Syria,under the name of Al-Nusra.
ISIS got near Bagdad,it had conquered 40% of Iraq,and MOSUL,its second largest city. The Iraqi army had almost disappeared. So Iraq asked Soleimani for help. Soleimani asked for Iraqi VOLUNTEERS. 100,000 Iraqis responded, and they were armed,f unded,and led by Soleimani and other Iranians,It took them 3 years (2014-2017) and Soleimani also helped Syria defeat the terrorist army of ISIS and Al-Qaida. He convinced Putin to send Russian soldiers. 4,000 Iranian soldiers and hundreds of Russian soldiers died. Had it not been for them ISIS would have conquered in 2013. At one time only Damascus was what was left of territory under the Syrian army’s control.
