Overview
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured an IDF position in the Syria buffer zone on Wednesday and observed the sector before a security briefing.
- He was joined by a senior delegation including Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, and Shin Bet Director David Zini.
- Officials provided a situational assessment that addressed threats from Syrian and Iranian-backed elements along Israel’s northern frontier.
- Netanyahu met regular and reserve troops, praised their performance, and took questions during the visit.
- No details from the closed-door discussion were released, as Israel maintains forward positions in southern Syria, including strategic heights on Mount Hermon, with media separately reporting unverified indirect talks with Damascus.
