IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir toured the Israeli-held buffer zone in southern Syria this morning, according to the military.

The IDF says Zamir was joined by senior officers, received a security briefing, and met with reservists operating in the area.

The visit comes a day after the IDF carried out a rare strike in Syria, targeting an airbase where Israel says Turkey was planning to deploy forces.
