IDF: A short while ago, several Israeli civilians arrived in the area of Mount Hermon in an attempt to cross the border into Syrian territory. IDF troops operating at the scene prevented the civilians from advancing and detained them. The detained civilians were transferred to the Israel Police for further handling. The IDF strongly condemns this incident, which follows several similar incidents in recent days, and emphasizes that such actions constitutes a criminal offense that endangers civilians and undermines the operational activities of IDF soldiers. The IDF expects law enforcement authorities to bring those involved to justice and to act decisively to prevent such incidents.
