Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the Golan Heights on Sunday, as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, was in the country to meet his Israeli counterpart Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi.

The prime minister was briefed on the recent security developments in the region by GOC Northern Command Maj. Gen. Amir Baram and the commander of the IDF Bashan Division, Brig. Gen. Amit Fisher. Defense Minister Naftali Bennett and Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir also attended the tour.

Speaking with reporters, Netanyahu accused Iran of planning attacks against the Jewish state and said everything possible would be done to prevent them.

"Iran's aggression in our region, and against us, continues. We are taking all necessary actions to prevent Iran from entrenching here in our region. This includes the activity necessary to thwart the transfer of lethal weaponry from Iran to Syria, whether by air or overland. We will also take action to thwart Iran's effort to turn Iraq and Yemen into bases for launching rockets and missiles against the State of Israel. Our commitment and our readiness to fight against Iranian aggression is absolute and we are acting with all means to prevent Iran from achieving its goals. I cannot go into more detail but this is a constant process," he said.

"I am doing everything necessary to continue the work of the government and the [Diplomatic] Security Cabinet, from which I have just come, by all necessary means, to preserve the security of the citizens of Israel and the things that are essential for the State of Israel. Whoever knows me knows that I am doing this. These are not insignificant matters. I am doing this in the best way possible out of a supreme commitment to the security of Israel.

The considerations are completely substantive and the decisions, in my view, are also very good. And the proof – everything that can be seen around us, everything that can be seen as a result of our action in the end falls on my desk and is my decision. My decisions are substantive and I think that I decide well," he said.

Last Wednesday, in a rare confirmation, Israel said it carried out a "very intense" attack against Iranian forces and Syrian army targets in Syria.

Bennett said that the "Iranian terror units have nothing to look for in Syria." Should they attempt to establish their presence there, he said they will "find a strong and powerful IDF that will hurt them."
