Netanyahu orders army to 'seize' Syria buffer zone
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he had ordered the Israeli military to "seize" a U.N.-patrolled buffer zone between the Israeli- and Syrian-controlled Golan Heights.
The premier said a 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria "has collapsed", so he "directed the (military) yesterday to seize the buffer zone and the commanding positions nearby. We will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border."
