Defense Minister Israel Katz is at the strategic Hermon crest position in Syria, according to The Zioneer.
Defense Minister Israel Katz visited the strategic Hermon crest in Syria today (Wednesday), according to The Zioneer. The visit comes hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the same position earlier in the day, accompanied by Katz and military brass, during which Netanyahu declared that Israel holds "complete control" over the area and vowed to topple the Iranian terror regime.
Katz's first documented visit to the crest was in August, when he stated that the IDF would remain as long as jihadist threats persist, as The Zioneer reported. Netanyahu also visited the location last month, according to earlier Zioneer coverage. The site has been held by Israeli forces since the fall of the Assad regime.
The Hermon crest overlooks the Syrian border area and has become a focal point of senior-level visits amid ongoing regional threats.
No further details were provided on the purpose or duration of today's visit.
