The Israeli Minister of Defense Revisited the Occupied Hermon Heights in Southern Syria
During Israel Katz’s visit to the occupied Hermon Heights in southern Syria, the Israeli Defense Minister announced that the Israeli army would remain indefinitely in these heights and the buffer zone. He also mentioned that Israel would maintain contact with the Druze community in southern Syria. These heights, also known as Jabal al-Sheikh, are a strategic area that Israeli forces seized on December 8, coinciding with the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government.
