The Israeli military said Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir conducted a field tour inside Syrian territory yesterday, where he warned that the army would attack any concrete threat anywhere.
Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee quoted Zamir as saying, "Syria has disintegrated and is undergoing changes. We are holding on to key points and will continue to operate beyond the border to defend ourselves."
"We will attack any concrete threat, existing or emerging, wherever necessary," he added, stressing the importance of preemptive defense in the Golan Heights.
Israel took control of areas in southwestern Syria, including the buffer zone located within Syrian territory, after the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad in December, and launched strikes targeting Syrian military weapons and capabilities.
The Times of Israel reported that Zamir conducted a field tour and security assessment in Syria, accompanied by senior commanders of the IDF's Northern Command.
Zamir pointed to Israel's ongoing campaign on multiple fronts against Iranian forces and their proxies in the region, stressing the army's determination to "continue targeting terrorist groups like Hezbollah."
During the visit, Zamir met with reserve soldiers stationed along the border.
