Israel moves into buffer zone between occupied Golan Heights and Syria

Israeli army tanks and armored vehicles crossed the border fence marking the so-called Alpha line and entered the buffer zone which separates the Golan Heights from Syria on the night of December 8, after the toppling of Bashar al-Assad's regime by Islamist rebels.
