The IDF attacked infrastructure associated with the Syrian army in the Golan Heights, which the military said contradicted the Disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria (1974), the IDF announced on Wednesday.

The IDF fired on previously abandoned Syrian infrastructure, with the IDF's move to put those structures out of commission.  

The IDF said they consider the Syrian army responsible for everything that happens in its territory and "will not allow attempts to violate the separation agreement."

The Israel-Syria agreement

The Disengagement agreement was made on May 31, 1974 between Israel and Syria. This provision aimed to create a buffer zone and prevent any potential clashes.

The strike against Syrian infrastructure comes a day after an Israeli couple, Noa and Nir Baranes, were killed in a Hezbollah rocket barrage toward the Golan Heights.
