The IDF releases images from the Syrian side of Mount Hermon, after it was captured by troops yesterday.
The Israeli Air Force’s elite Shaldag unit raided the mountain, located more than 10 kilometers from the Israeli border, without facing any resistance.
The IDF has deployed forces to a buffer zone between Israel and Syria, which also includes the Mount Hermon area, as a defensive measure following the collapse of the Assad regime.
