Defense Minister Israel Katz during a visit to the Syrian side of Mount Hermon today says the IDF will remain there indefinitely.

“The IDF will remain at the summit of the Hermon and the security zone indefinitely to ensure the security of the communities of the Golan Heights and the north, and all the residents of Israel,” Katz says, apparently referring to a buffer zone on the Syrian side of the border which Israel occupied following the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime last month.
