Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israeli forces will maintain their presence in a buffer zone on Mount Hermon until a suitable security arrangement is made.
Netanyahu highlighted the increased significance of Mount Hermon for Israel's security due to recent developments, marking his first visit as a sitting leader to Syrian territory.
Defense Minister Israel Katz indicated that the Israeli military would establish fortifications in the buffer zone, anticipating an extended presence to enhance security.
Critics argue Israel's actions in the buffer zone violate the 1974 ceasefire and could be an opportunistic land grab amid the chaos in Syria.
