'Israel': We are working to return Druze who crossed into Syria from Golan Heights
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced on Tuesday that dozens of Druze crossed the border fence into Syrian territory near the Majdal Shams area in the occupied Golan Heights.
לפני זמן קצר, עשרות אזרחים ישראלים חצו את גדר הגבול לתוך שטח סוריה במרחב מג׳דל שמס.

כוחות צה״ל פועלים כעת על מנת להחזיר בבטחה את האזרחים שחצו את הגבול
The IOF stated that it is currently working to return those who crossed the border safely, though no details were provided on the circumstances of the crossing or whether arrests would be made.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions in southern Syria following 'Israeli' airstrikes on Suwayda province. A source in Tel Aviv, speaking to local media, confirmed that the strikes were carried out in full coordination with the United States.
