Israel ordered troops Friday to prepare to remain throughout winter on Mount Hermon — a strategic peak inside a buffer zone that has existed for decades with Syria but which Israeli forces have seized in the wake of the Assad regime's collapse.
It was the latest sign that Israel may maintain a presence
in Syria for a prolonged period, defying international pressure to halt its
advances and airstrikes as the world hopes to secure a peaceful transition in
the country.
