IDF detains Israeli civilians attempting to cross into Syria from Mount Hermon

Israeli troops detained several Israeli civilians overnight Thursday who attempted to cross the border into Syrian territory from the Mount Hermon area. The detained individuals were transferred to Israeli police for further handling. The IDF strongly condemned the incident, noting it follows several similar cases in recent days. The military emphasized such actions constitute a criminal offense that endangers civilians, disrupts operational activities, and diverts troops from their mission. The IDF called on law enforcement to prosecute those involved and act decisively to prevent future incidents.
