Israel's armed forces are set to stay in buffer zones within Syria, acting decisively against any threats to national security, stated Defence Minister Israel Katz on Thursday.
In a stern warning to Syria's government, Katz emphasized that any allowance of hostile forces near the Israeli border would incur a heavy toll.
Recent airstrikes in Hama and Damascus served as a clear message from Israel, asserted Katz, assuring that the security of the State of Israel remains paramount and uncompromising.
