Jerusalem, Dec 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Saturday that, based on a situational assessment, it is calling up additional forces for defensive missions in the annexed Golan Heights, adjacent to the Israel-Syria border.
"The reinforcements will enhance the area defence and bolster the forces' preparedness for various scenarios," the statement read, quoted by Xinhua news agency.
This announcement followed a previous statement by the IDF on Friday, which indicated that its aerial and ground forces were being reinforced in the Golan Heights, based on an ongoing situational assessment, amid developments in Syria's civil conflict.
The IDF emphasised on Friday that its troops were deployed along the border, closely monitoring developments, and were prepared for all scenarios, adding that it would not tolerate threats near the Israeli border and was committed to "neutralising" any threat against Israel.
