On 8 December 2024, the Israeli Army Radio reported that Israeli armored units, including main battle tanks, crossed the established border fence in the Golan Heights during early morning operations. The Israeli Army Radio stated that the Israeli Defense Forces and Northern Command initiated the operation in order to strengthen its border with Syria.
The military advance extended into the Quneitra Governorate, with substantial forces entering the town of Khan Arnabeh. The Israeli military conducted targeted operations against weapons storage facilities across southern Syria to prevent it from falling into the hands of opposition forces. Additionally, the IDF significantly reinforced its presence within the established buffer zone. Syrian media reported that Israeli forces had advanced into the city center of al-Baath.
Following the advance into the Quneitra Governorate and the Syrian side of Mount Hermon by the Israeli Special Forces Unit S101 (Shaldag), Netanyahu issued a statement saying that the 1974 ceasefire agreement had collapsed when Syrian soldiers abandoned their posts in the Golan Heights, and that the area was to be "temporarily" occupied to "ensure that no hostile force embeds itself next to the border of Israel". During the takeover, the IDF ordered locals of the border towns to remain inside until further notice.
