Israel has decided to maintain its positions on Mount Hermon and in Syria following the collapse of the Assad regime, aiming to monitor and defend its border against the conquering forces.

During Chol Hamoed, the interim days of Passover, life in Israel takes a turn towards rest and relaxation, and people spend time with family and friends.
The Iron Dome missile defense system took out a Syrian missile headed straight for a popular ski resort in the Golan Heights, but Israeli skiers didn't let the interruption ruin their day on the slopes.
