Netanyahu Reviews IDF Deployment on Border With Syria

Stand for Israel  |  December 18, 2024

Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the northern border with Syria to assess the IDF deployment and how to best defend the Holy Land, reports JNS:

Netanyahu during the visit “reviewed the IDF deployment in the area and set guidelines for the future,” according to the PMO statement.

“We are holding this assessment in order to decide on the deployment of the IDF in this important place until another arrangement is found that ensures Israel’s security,” the prime minister stated in his remarks.

“This is nostalgic for me. “I was here 53 years ago with my soldiers in the General Staff Reconnaissance Unit [“Sayeret Matkal”]. The place has not changed,” Netanyahu said. “It is the same place, but its importance for Israel’s security has only been underscored in recent years; especially in recent weeks with the dramatic events that took place below us in Syria.”

“We will determine the best arrangement that will ensure our security,” the premier concluded.
