Israel carries out air strikes in Syria

Israel conducted three air strikes against a major security complex in the Kafr Sousa district of the Syrian capital along with a research centre where it had previously said Iranian scientists developed missiles, two regional security sources told Reuters on Sunday.

PM Netanyahu said he had ordered the Israeli military to "seize" the demilitarised buffer zone on the border with Syria. He said a 50-year-old "disengagement agreement" between the two countries had collapsed and "Syrian forces have abandoned their positions". "We will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border."
