Fall of Assad's regime rekindles hope for Syrian families separated by Golan Heights.

The fall of Syrian President Assad's regime has sparked hope for families divided by the Golan Heights buffer zone between Israeli-controlled territory and Syria. Since Israel seized the Golan Heights in 1967, families like the Druze Safadi sisters have been separated for decades. With Assad's fall, the sisters have started to gather near the fence, hoping to see each other and possibly reunite as restrictions ease. While it's uncertain if relations will improve, the change brings renewed hope for divided families.
