A security source told Saudi Arabia's Al-Arabiya TV on Sunday that the IDF has taken control of the Jabal al-Sheikh site, located on the Syrian side of Mount Hermon, following the withdrawal of the local army from the area. According to the report, this takeover gives the IDF control over additional sites along the ceasefire line with Syria.

This is a formative event that for the first time since the Six-Day War, IDF forces are beyond enemy lines on three borders – Gaza, southern Lebanon and now also in Syria.

The dramatic report comes after Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the Syrian border earlier today together with Defense Minister Israel Katz and addressed the latest developments in Syria: "This is a historic day in the history of the Middle East. The Assad regime is a central link in Iran's axis of evil – this regime has fallen. This is a direct result of the blows we have inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah, the main supporters of the Assad regime."

Netanyahu added that the new situation has "very important" opportunities as well as risks: "We are working first and foremost to defend our border. This area was controlled for nearly 50 years by a buffer zone agreed upon in 1974, the separation of forces agreement. This agreement collapsed, the Syrian soldiers abandoned their positions."

"Together with the Minister of Defense, and with the full backing of the Cabinet, I instructed the IDF yesterday to seize the buffer zone and the adjacent control positions. We will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border."

The prime minister emphasized the good neighborly relations between Israel and Syria: "The same good neighborliness that we maintained when we established a field hospital here that treated thousands of Syrians who were wounded and injured in the civil war. Hundreds of Syrian children were born here in Israel."

Turkey! 😂
Again and again, these are more or less splinter cells from Al Qaeda, ISIS. Maybe different ideology!

These guys just want a piece of Syria hence the Numerous groups you hear about.
Might be hard for an African to understand what's going on in the middle East (Syria,etc), it's pretty messed up.

Alright, listen up, mates! For those who don't get why Israel's taken control of Mount Hermon's Syrian side, let me break it down. Mount Hermon's a very strategic spot. It's on the border with Syria and Lebanon, and it's got a good view of the surrounding area. That makes it a top priority for Israel's military ops and surveillance.

Now, Israel's main motivation for taking control of Mount Hermon's Syrian side is to keep Iranian and Hezbollah forces, or any other dodgy terrorist groups, from getting a foothold in the area. By controlling the mountain, Israel's preventing any terrorist groups from using it as a launchpad for attacks just in case.

It's also about disrupting the flow of weapons and supplies from Iran to Hezbollah through Syria. And, of course, it's a top-notch spot for surveillance, letting Israel keep an eye on Iranian and Hezbollah or any rebel activities in the region.

Israel can also respond quickly to any potential threats, and it's also a buffer zone, preventing any rebel groups from getting too close to Israel's borders. Sorted!

This is very necessary step to keep the Terrorists and rebels in check since Syrian Assad army collapsed. Can't have Terrorists operating unchecked close to the border. Don't mess with israel. This is like the only country keeping terrorists in the middle East in order.
