IDF: A short while ago, 14 Israeli civilians arrived in the Alonei Habashan area and crossed the border into Syria. IDF soldiers were dispatched to the area and operated to locate them and returned the civilians to Israeli territory. The detained civilians were transferred to the Israel Police for further handling. The IDF strongly condemns such incidents, which constitute a disturbance to the soldiers’ operational activity in the area and puts them in danger. The law enforcement authorities are required to bring those involved to justice and to prevent those individuals from repeatedly engaging in this incident, which constitutes a criminal offense.
