Shortly ago, a number of Israeli civilians arrived in the southern Golan Heights area with the intention of attempting to cross the border into Syrian territory.

An IDF force operating at the location prevented the advance of civilians and detained them. The civilians who were detained were transferred for further treatment by the Israel Police. The IDF strongly condemns the incident, which is added to other similar incidents, and emphasizes that this is a criminal offense that endangers civilians and harms the operational activity of IDF forces. The IDF expects law enforcement agencies to prosecute those involved and act decisively against this phenomenon.
