The IDF publishes footage showing the construction of temporary army posts atop the Syrian side of Mount Hermon, where troops have been deployed since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime last month.
The military says the Technological and Logistics Directorate provided troops with insulated structures and equipment to reside atop the mountain during the harsh winter weather.
Among the structures erected in the army posts is a medical building that is equipped to treat cold weather injuries.
The IDF provided the forces with generators, heating devices, and clothing and shoes for snow.
The military has said that its deployment to a buffer zone on the Syrian side of the border and strategic positions beyond the zone is a defensive and temporary measure.
