ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today signalled Israel’s intention to permanently remain in the buffer zone at Syria’s border, claiming it would need to remain as a guarantee of security.

After the overthrow of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, Israeli forces invaded the zone near the Golan Heights, established after the 1973 Middle East war. 

The military says it has seized additional strategic points nearby.
