Israel seizes land on Syrian border and bombs Damascus

Israel has seized land along its border with Syria and carried out air strikes on Damascus.

Benjamin Netanyahu said IDF troops had captured a buffer zone in the Golan Heights on the same day a lightning rebel offensive toppled the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad.

Mr Netanyahu said the move was to protect Israeli residents after Syrian troops abandoned positions, and after rebel fighters infiltrated the UN monitored area.

It came as Israeli fighter jets began a bombardment of weapons sites in Damascus, as the Jewish state took preventive measures to quash weapons leftover from the Assad regime getting into the hands of extremists.
