Netanyahu Orders Troops to Stay in Syria for long: What’s Behind the Strategic Move on Mount Hermon?
In a bold move, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to prepare for a prolonged stay in Syria, with special arrangements to remain stationed on the strategically vital Mount Hermon.
This decision comes amid growing tensions in the region and Israel’s increasing military presence in Syria.
Mount Hermon provides a crucial vantage point for surveillance and military operations, especially given its proximity to Damascus and the Lebanese border.

Fierce clashes continue in northern Syria between U.S.-backed Kurdish forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed groups, resulting in around 40 deaths. Despite U.S. efforts to ease tensions, Turkey views the YPG as a PKK-linked terrorist group. The conflict has worsened with foreign militants like HTS involved, and Turkey threatens further action.

Israeli officials have warned of a growing threat from Turkey's increasing support for Syrian factions, especially following Turkey’s strategic ambitions in the Middle East.

Israeli forces have reportedly taken control of Mount Hermon’s peak, establishing a new military position overlooking Damascus' southwestern countryside. According to local sources cited by Al Mayadeen, the IDF has been combing the entire peak, seizing military equipment and the wreckage of an Israeli helicopter downed during the 1973 October War. Simultaneously, Israeli tanks and armored patrols have advanced into Syria’s Quneitra countryside, infiltrating the al-Hamidiyah axis toward al-Baath. Reports indicate that Israeli forces have targeted homes and farms in central Quneitra villages while indiscriminately firing on the al-Hamidiyah and al-Hurriya forests.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the Golan Heights would remain "forever an inseparable part" of Israel, cementing the controversial annexation of the strategic region. This bold proclamation came as Israeli troops moved decisively to seize control of the Golan buffer zone, breaching the 1974 disengagement agreement.
Netanyahu justified the advance, stating that the agreement had “collapsed” following the retreat of Syrian troops, leaving the area vulnerable to terrorist activity and heavy weapons. Israeli forces have now taken control of key strategic sites, including the Syrian side of Mount Hermon.

In a significant military escalation, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have captured key towns in Syria’s Quneitra province, near the Golan Heights, following the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad's government. The towns of Madinat al-Baath and Hader fell to Israeli troops after intense artillery shelling in the buffer zone.
Reports indicate that Israeli forces, bolstered by their recent gains, are advancing towards Dara’a province, located approximately 90 kilometers south of Damascus.

Iran has launched its new military exercise, "Eqtedar" (Might), in the western and northern air defense zones, including regions hosting critical nuclear facilities like Fordow and Khondab. This large-scale exercise involves missile, radar, electronic warfare, reconnaissance, and deception operations aimed at defending strategic sites, including those crucial for uranium enrichment. The drills also simulate air and missile defense against potential enemy threats. As tensions rise with the U.S. and Israel, especially amid the ongoing Houthi and IDF conflict, these exercises are viewed as a direct show of force and military preparedness. Iran’s military has ramped up its activities in response to evolving security threats, signaling a potential shift in regional dynamics. With military drills stretching until March and escalating tensions, Iran’s message is clear: it's prepared to defend its sovereignty and nuclear infrastructure against any foreign incursions.

Hamas has released a controversial propaganda video that mocks the desperate plea from Sharon Cunio, the wife of hostage David Cunio, for proof of life. Sharon’s heartbreaking request for a video showing her husband alive was met with an older clip of the family in Gaza, with no new information about David’s condition. This comes as the Siegel family continues to advocate for their loved ones still held by Hamas, including Aviva Siegel’s husband, Keith. The Siegel family urges the U.S. government to take action and bring hostages home from Gaza, where over 100 hostages remain in captivity. In this video, we dive into the painful reality of hostage situations and the ongoing plea for justice and action.

In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Yemeni forces launched a fierce missile and drone assault against the USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea, forcing the American aircraft carrier to retreat to the northernmost part of the sea. The 9-hour operation, described by Houthi officials as a resounding success, marks the fifth such attack on the US warship since its deployment to the region. Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed that multiple cruise missiles and kamikaze drones were used to target the strike group, successfully driving the USS Truman away. This latest assault is framed as a direct response to the US's military involvement in supporting Israel's actions in Gaza. Yemeni forces have vowed to continue their operations until Israel halts its aggression and the siege on Palestine ends. The bold strike also serves as a statement of Yemen’s growing military capabilities, with new weapons like the Palestine-2 hypersonic missile designed to bypass advanced defense systems. As tensions mount in the region, experts question whether this incident signals the beginning of an all-out war between the US and Yemen.

Lebanon’s political stalemate has ended with the election of Army Chief Joseph Aoun as president, after 13 failed attempts and over a year without a leader. Aoun’s election comes during a delicate ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, following devastating clashes that left Lebanon reeling. Backed by international powers like the US and Saudi Arabia, Aoun’s presidency is seen as a potential turning point for the country’s fractured politics and strained international relations.Hezbollah’s role in the election has raised questions about its future influence, especially as the group has been weakened by the recent conflict with Israel. Aoun, viewed as a reformist leader, faces monumental challenges, including rebuilding Lebanon’s shattered economy, navigating the fragile peace with Israel, and maintaining national unity amid deep political divisions.
