The IDF says it is bolstering forces on Israel’s border with Syria, amid the developments in the civil war.
The move comes following fresh assessments held yesterday by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and the head of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin.
The IDF says it is deploying additional ground and air forces in the Golan Heights in light of the developments in Syria.
It says troops are deployed to the border in the Golan Heights and are “raising their readiness according to the various scenarios.”
In a video released by the IDF, troops are seen fortifying a barrier along the border with Syria.
“The IDF is following the events and is prepared for any scenario in attack and defense,” the military says, adding that it “will not allow a threat near Israel’s border, and will work to thwart any threat to the citizens of the State of Israel.”
