IDF Secures Syrian Hermon, Strikes Chemical Weapons Facility

In a strategic move to bolster security, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Sunday afternoon that it has taken control of the Syrian side of Mount Hermon. The operation aims to expand a demilitarized buffer zone along the Israel-Syria border and reinforce key defense positions.

Strategic Importance of Mount Hermon

The Hermon mountain range is widely regarded as a critical strategic asset. Its high elevation offers a commanding vantage point over the region, allowing Israel to monitor and preempt potential threats from invading forces.

The IDF clarified its stance on Syria’s internal affairs, stating that it would not intervene unless developments directly threaten Israeli security interests.

Targeting Syria’s Chemical Weapons Facility

Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, the IDF conducted an airstrike on a chemical weapons facility reportedly controlled by the regime of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The strike, initially reported by Arab media and later confirmed by The Jerusalem Post, was carried out to prevent Syrian rebels from seizing the facility.

An IDF spokesperson emphasized Israel’s proactive approach to neutralizing potential threats:
“The military monitors developments that could endanger Israeli security and takes the necessary steps to eliminate such dangers,” the statement said.

Israel’s Longstanding Strategy in Syria

For over a decade, Israel has maintained a policy of avoiding direct involvement in Syria’s internal conflict while taking decisive action to address security threats, particularly regarding advanced weapons. The IDF has conducted thousands of airstrikes in Syria since the civil war erupted, although it has publicly acknowledged only a small fraction of these operations.

Israel’s actions reflect a dual commitment: avoiding unnecessary escalation while ensuring that its borders remain secure and advanced weaponry does not fall into hostile hands.
