“The situation here is changing rapidly, ISIS is retreating and Iran is trying to fill the void,” Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said after touring the Hermon and Golan Tuesday. “Iran and Hezbollah have formed a northern deployment armed with precise weaponry. We are dealing with new threats. We are aware of the entire gamut of threats against Israel,” Netanyahu said. He complimented “the sharpness and alertness of the officers, the forces [of the Bashan Division] and the important work they are doing.”

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
