Netanyahu Orders Troops to Stay in Syria for long: What’s Behind the Strategic Move on Mount Hermon?
In a bold move, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to prepare for a prolonged stay in Syria, with special arrangements to remain stationed on the strategically vital Mount Hermon.
This decision comes amid growing tensions in the region and Israel’s increasing military presence in Syria.
Mount Hermon provides a crucial vantage point for surveillance and military operations, especially given its proximity to Damascus and the Lebanese border.
Watch this video for an in-depth analysis of Israel’s controversial decision and its potential impact on the ongoing conflict in Syria and the broader Middle East.
In a significant escalation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched targeted strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, including a rocket launcher site, military bases, and smuggling routes near the Syria-Lebanon border. The strikes come amidst concerns over Hezbollah's efforts to rebuild its forces in violation of the recent ceasefire agreement.

Israeli forces have reportedly taken control of Mount Hermon’s peak, establishing a new military position overlooking Damascus' southwestern countryside. According to local sources cited by Al Mayadeen, the IDF has been combing the entire peak, seizing military equipment and the wreckage of an Israeli helicopter downed during the 1973 October War. Simultaneously, Israeli tanks and armored patrols have advanced into Syria’s Quneitra countryside, infiltrating the al-Hamidiyah axis toward al-Baath. Reports indicate that Israeli forces have targeted homes and farms in central Quneitra villages while indiscriminately firing on the al-Hamidiyah and al-Hurriya forests.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the Golan Heights would remain "forever an inseparable part" of Israel, cementing the controversial annexation of the strategic region. This bold proclamation came as Israeli troops moved decisively to seize control of the Golan buffer zone, breaching the 1974 disengagement agreement.
Netanyahu justified the advance, stating that the agreement had “collapsed” following the retreat of Syrian troops, leaving the area vulnerable to terrorist activity and heavy weapons. Israeli forces have now taken control of key strategic sites, including the Syrian side of Mount Hermon.
