What are Israel’s plans in Syria?

Israel moves to seize more Syrian land near the Golan Heights after opposition forces topple former President Bashar al-Assad.

As former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government falls, Israel seizes more territory in Syria’s Golan Heights.

That move tears up a 50-year-old ceasefire agreement.

But Israeli far-right ministers say their country’s borders should extend further – to Damascus.
