The Arab League has passed a resolution that condemns the Israeli occupation of the buffer zone inside Syria, Press TV reported.
The 22-member bloc said Arab countries called on the UN Security Council on Friday to hold a session on Israel’s practices against Syria.
The details were released by Egypt’s Foreign Ministry which said the Arab League has held a meeting in Cairo to draft a unified Arab stance toward the regime’s occupation of more Syrian land.
The bloc also called on the international community to force Israel to withdraw from the occupied Golan Heights.
Israel started its push to grab more Syrian land on Sunday after foreign-backed militants led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) announced the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s government following a rapid two-week onslaught.
The IDF seized the so-called buffer zone, which separates the occupied Golan Heights from the rest of Syria, in violation of a 1974 disengagement agreement. The occupation forces have entered several towns in Quneitra, forcibly evacuating residents.
They occupied the summit of Jabal al-Shaykh which provides an observation point for areas in Syria and Lebanon. It rises to 9,232 feet (2,814 meters) and is the highest point on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Israeli soldiers have advanced beyond the buffer zone toward Damascus, with the regime's warplanes conducting hundreds of aerial attacks on Syria.
