UN Disengagement Observer Force

The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) is a peacekeeping mission established in 1974 to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Syria along the Golan Heights. Its primary role is to oversee the disengagement of forces and prevent hostilities in the area, ensuring both sides adhere to agreements. UNDOF's presence helps maintain stability and reduces the risk of conflict escalation. The mission involves observing, reporting, and sometimes assisting in maintaining peace, all while respecting the sovereignty of the involved countries. It serves as a buffer zone to promote security and stability in a sensitive region.
