Israelis occupy abandoned Syrian military sites.

Hours after Syrian rebels captured Damascus, Israeli troops began to occupy strategic sites in Syria. This is the first time they have crossed the border since the end of the Yom Kippur War in 1974.

This is reported by The Washington Post.

Israeli officials claim that the actions are defensive in nature and aimed at ensuring the country's security.

In particular, Israeli troops have occupied abandoned Syrian military sites to prevent them from being used by terrorists or other groups against Israel.
