IDF Returns Two Israeli Civilians Who Crossed Into Syria Amid Security Operations
On Thursday, two Israeli civilians crossed the border into Syria but were promptly returned by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) personnel. The civilians were detained and handed over to the Israeli police for further handling. The IDF condemned the incident, describing it as a serious disruption to operational activities and a risk to the safety of IDF troops operating in the area. They emphasized the need for law enforcement to take strict action against those involved to prevent repeated illegal crossings, which constitute a criminal offense. Meanwhile, the IDF's 36th Division successfully captured the Bofor Ridge and destroyed underground enemy positions during ongoing operations in the Syrian Golan Heights region. The incident highlights ongoing security challenges along the Israel-Syria border amid active military operations.
