We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the IDF on Sunday to take control over the demilitarized zone that serves as a buffer between Israel and Syria.
The Syrian side of Mount Hermon was captured by the Israeli Air Force’s elite Shaldag Unit, which faced no resistance during the operation.
The move came in the wake of the fall of Damascus to the rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly Al Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra, and the end of the regime of now-former President Bashar al-Assad — momentous events this weekend that prompted Israel to deploy its forces to the Syrian side of the Mount Hermon as Assad regime soldiers abandoned their posts.
Netanyahu said in a statement Sunday during a visit to Israel’s border with Syria that the IDF occupation of the buffer zone is temporary, and reached out a “hand of peace” to Israel’s new northern neighbor.

IDF Deployed on Syrian Side of Mount Hermon – For Good?
"We send a hand of peace to all those beyond our border in Syria: to the Druze, to the Kurds, to the Christians, and to the Muslims who want to live in peace with Israel."
