Damascus said the work violates the 1974 disengagement agreement as the Sufa 53 project adds an 8-meter road, earth berms and observation posts.

  • On Sunday, Israel resumed excavation and fortification work on the "Sufa 53" military project near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to Al-Ikhbariya television.
  • Known as the "Great Storm," the project began in 2022 inside the buffer zone established by the 1974 disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel.
  • Israeli forces have advanced between 300 and 1,000 meters into the buffer zone, while local accounts report appropriation of about 7,000 dunams of agricultural land in Jabata al-Khashab.
  • Syria's Foreign Ministry, Qatar, and Jordan denounced the work as a "flagrant violation" of international law, with Damascus reaffirming its right to exercise full sovereignty over its territory.
  • Israel previously cited "security considerations and the need to prevent potential threats along its border" for operations, though Syria characterized the recent ground activities as an "aggressive approach.
