Call things by their name, occupied land

The article says "(...) A large Syrian Druze community historically lived in the Golan Heights, but following wars with Israel in 1967 and 1973, many of these Druze fled to other parts of Syria; most of those who remained live in a handful of villages in the disputed zone, (...)". No disputed zone, but an occupied, colonized and illegally anexed one! The "disputed" territory or zone phraseology is a Zionist or pro-Zionist narrative, not related with truth nor with the international law that clearly states that the Golan Heights are an Israeli occupied land.

Mid-July 2025 Additions

At first glance the IP additions made yesterday describing what's functionally developing news are going to need cleanup for style, sourcing, and possibly NPOV. Usually I'd go ahead fix some of the grammar/structure stuff, but since it seems like this might become a more active article in the near future I'm wary of making things look more credible without a better understanding of what's being reported and how myself.
