Israel Orders Troops to Stay on Mount Hermon for Winter Amidst Syrian Tensions
Dec 13, 2024, 06:59 AM
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered Israeli troops to prepare for an extended presence on the Syrian side of Mount Hermon during the winter months. This strategic location overlooks Damascus and has been deemed of 'enormous security importance' due to the ongoing situation in Syria. Katz, along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, visited the Golan Heights to observe the newly regained control over the Syrian peaks of Mount Hermon, marking a significant historical moment after 51 years. The decision to maintain a military presence on Mount Hermon comes amidst calls from the United Nations for Israel to end its strikes in Syria and withdraw from the buffer zone, highlighting the tension in the region.
