Israel told the United Nations Security Council on Monday that it has taken "limited and temporary measures" in a demilitarized strip bordering Syria to counter any threats, particularly to residents of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. "It is important to emphasize, however, that Israel is not intervening in the ongoing conflict between Syrian armed groups; our actions are solely focused on safeguarding our security," Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon wrote in a letter to the 15-member council. He said Israel remained committed to the framework of a 1974 Separation of Forces Agreement.
