Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid a rare visit to the Golan Heights on Tuesday, peering across the nearby border into Syria and warning Israel’s enemies not to “test” its resolve.
Netanyahu has been cautioning against any attempt by Iran to deepen its military foothold in Syria or construct missile factories in neighboring Lebanon.
Lebanon’s top three leaders accused Israel on Tuesday of threatening the stability of the border region between them amid rising tension over territorial and maritime boundaries.
“We seek peace but are prepared for any scenario and I wouldn’t suggest to anyone that they test us,” Netanyahu said in broadcast remarks during the Golan visit.
He did not mention Iran or its Lebanon-based Shi’ite terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, both main players in Syria’s civil war, by name.
Netanyahu was accompanied to a hilltop observation point, some two miles from a 1974 ceasefire line, by his security cabinet.
They were briefed on the security situation in the area by Israel’s armed forces chief and the military commander of the northern region, the prime minister’s office said in a statement.
