Israel Builds Military Bases in Syria After Ouster of Bashar al-Assad
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Al Jazeera has published satellite images that show Israel is building
out seven military bases within the demilitarized buffer zone with Syria
following the ouster of Bashar al-Assad in December. One of the bases is
being built outside the buffer zone, inside Syrian territory. Israel's
incursions into Syria violate a 1974 truce that designated the area of
the Golan Heights as a buffer zone.
