Syrian Arab Army troops were reportedly spotted on the Lebanese side of Mount Hermon from northern Israel on Monday night, according to Syrian state media.

Recently, reports have surfaced of both Israeli and Syrian airstrikes in areas close to the border.

The IDF has repeatedly stated that it will not permit any foreign forces, whether regular soldiers or Iranian-backed proxies,  to deploy anywhere near Israel's borders and will strike their positions.

Israeli fighter jets reportedly carried out one of the most widespread attacks in approximately three years earlier in January, striking 18 sites including arms depots and military positions in eastern Syria.

A Syrian war monitor claimed that those strikes killed nine regular Syrian soldiers and at least 31 allied fighters, thought to include members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hezbollah and the Afghani Shi'ite Fatemiyoun Brigade - the latter two of which are known to use the targeted sites for training fighters.

The cluster of mountains that is Mount Hermon, or Jabal al-Shaykh, of which Israel controls less than 10%, is the apex of the Golan Heights and splits between Israel and Lebanon at its summit. The very top of the mountain is controlled by UN forces.

The IDF is preparing for a massive war drill, slated for this upcoming summer. The drill is expected to last a month and will simulate a full-scale war, including with Gaza, and extending to the northern threat, which will be the main focus.
