Israel maintains its presence at the peak of Mount Hermon

Text:
Why should Israel maintain its presence at the peak of Mount Hermon?
| It’s in the Golan Heights. Israel needs the high ground so that no one in Syria or Lebanon decides to get clever again and rain missiles down on the Jewish communities below, as they did until the IDF took a portion of the Golan Heights during the Six Day War in 1967. That’s why they annexed that portion acquired in 1967 during President Trump’s first term. |
For years, Hezbollah exploited the harsh and unforgiving terrain of Mount Hermon for cross-border smuggling of weapons, narcotics, people, and other illicit cargo between Lebanon and Syria—and in the opposite direction as well.
Following the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024, IDF forces took control of the Hermon peak, creating a new reality in a historically problematic area. This move is justified, vital, and essential to Israel’s security.
In a single step, the IDF expanded its strategic depth, thwarting current and future threats and attacks against Israeli territory. Israel’s presence in this area significantly hampers Hezbollah’s operational recovery and rebuilding efforts, particularly toward southern Syria, affects other fronts as well, and helps address the uncertainty and instability prevailing in Syria.
In any agreement, Israel must preserve its presence in this area.
