Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited an IDF outpost on the Syrian side of Mount Hermon with Defense Minister Israel Katz and Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai. Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo and 210th Division commander Brig. Gen. Yair Falai briefed them on operations in the sector. Netanyahu said Israel controls the area from Mount Hermon to the Yarmouk River and west to the Mediterranean, and would not allow a terrorist army to establish itself on Israel's border. He also said defeating Iran's regime remains Israel's main task and that the country is very close to achieving it.
