Netanyahu: Israeli troops will control a neutral zone inside Syria
Benjamin Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israeli forces will remain in a neutral zone on the Syrian side of the border, more specifically at the top of Mount Hermon, "until a situation is created that does not pose a threat to Israel's security."

Netanyahu made the announcement Tuesday from the top of the snow-capped mountain, the highest in the region, on the Syrian side of the border. It is likely the first time an Israeli leader has entered Syrian territory.

Netanyahu said he stood on the summit of Mount Hermon 53 years ago as a soldier, but the importance of this area for Israel's security has increased considering recent developments.

Israel has seized control of a section of southern Syria along the border with the Golan Heights, previously annexed by the Jewish state, calling it a neutral zone, days after rebels ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad. The takeover has been condemned by critics who accuse Israel of violating a 1974 ceasefire and exploiting chaos in Syria to seize territory.

Netanyahu visited the neutral zone with Defense Minister Israel Katz, who said he instructed the Israeli military to deploy there by creating fortifications, indicating a long-term presence in the area.

"The peak of Hermon is the eyes of the state of Israel to identify our enemies who are near and far," said Minister Katz.

Israeli forces have taken control of a demilitarized zone of approximately 400 square kilometers inside Syria. The neutral zone between Syria and the Golan Heights was established by the UN after the 1973 Middle East war. A UN peacekeeping force of about 1,100 troops has been present in the area since then.

Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 Middle East war and later annexed them, a move not recognized by most of the international community. The peak of Mount Hermon is shared between the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, Lebanon, and Syria. Only the United States recognizes Israeli control of the Golan Heights.
