IDF soldiers detained two Israeli civilians from the northern towns of Tamra and Buq’ata after crossing the border into Syria.
Police say that the suspects entered Syria in a vehicle, before being stopped by Israeli soldiers operating in the area.
The pair were handed over to the Israel Police for questioning.
“The suspects are currently being interrogated, and according to the investigation findings it will be decided on the continuation of the legal process in their case,” police say.
Police note that crossing the border illegally is punishable with up to four years in jail.
