Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi held another assessment today on the developments in Syria.

The Defense Ministry says that Katz “instructed the IDF to maintain a high level of readiness and continue to monitor the developments.”

Earlier today, the IDF said it was bolstering forces on the border with Syria in the Golan Heights.

“The IDF is prepared for any scenario, and is determined to protect the citizens of Israel and protect Israel’s security interests at all times,” the ministry says.
