IDF Seizes Syrian Mount Hermon to Expand Buffer Zone
Dec 8, 2024, 02:12 PM
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have reportedly taken control of the Syrian side of Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights, following the withdrawal of Syrian forces from the area. According to multiple reports from Saudi Al-Hadath and other sources, the IDF has occupied several military posts in the region, including a key outpost on Mount Hermon. The operation was carried out by the elite Shaldag Unit of the Israeli Air Force, and no resistance was encountered during the takeover. This move comes as part of Israel's strategy to expand a demilitarized buffer zone between Israel and Syria, with the Israeli Cabinet approving plans to seize control of the Mount Hermon region for this purpose. The IDF earlier today announced the deployment of forces to the buffer zone.
