The IDF says it is reopening a medical facility it set up in southern Syria, next to the Druze village of Hader, after it was closed several weeks ago.

The “forward mobile triage” was established in May, amid the IDF’s ongoing operations in southern Syria. It was closed due to the war in Iran in June, as the forces operating it were diverted to other tasks.
