Israel doing what it does best: steal land from its neighbors. 

Also, a reminder, Netanyahu illegally "annexed" the Golan Heights a few years ago. Of course, Trump's recognition of that annexation makes the US the only country in the world to do so.

Israel Digs In Beyond Its Northern Border
Israel has built a growing network of outposts and fortifications in Syria and Lebanon, deepening concerns about a protracted occupation in parts of the two countries.

Israel says it wants to prevent another surprise attack across its borders like the October 2023 Hamas-led attack that ignited the war in Gaza. It has not said how long its forces will remain in its neighbors’ territories, where groups hostile to Israel are present.

But there are signs that Israel appears prepared to remain indefinitely, a visual analysis by The New York Times has found.

The military has set up watchtowers, prefabricated housing modules, roads and communication infrastructure, according to local residents and the United Nations. An image taken in January of an area near the Syrian town of Jubata al-Khashab shows heavy equipment at work and a newly built perimeter wall.
