Group of several dozen Israeli Druze cross border into Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA group of Israeli Druze have crossed the border into Syria, amid fresh clashes between their Syrian coreligionists and local Bedouin in the Sweida area.
The dozens who entered Syrian territory were part of a larger group of Druze who arrived at the border near the northern Golan Heights town of Majdal Shams, where the Ynet news site reported some of them shoved Israeli troops stationed in the area to prevent mass breaches of the frontier such as those earlier in the week.
IDF troops are working to return the Druze back to Israeli territory, the army tells the Kan public broadcaster.
