The Nazareth Magistrate's Court on Friday extended the detention of two Israeli citizens until Saturday, after they were arrested for illegally crossing into Syria. The two were caught by IDF troops yesterday and brought to the court this morning, according to The Zioneer.
The incident is the latest in a series of illegal border crossings into Syria by Israeli civilians. As The Zioneer reported on July 29, three Israeli civilians were detained by the IDF after crossing into Syria, and on July 18 the IDF noted a recent increase in such crossing attempts. The court's decision to extend the detention indicates the case is still under investigation.
No further details on the identity of the detainees or the circumstances of the crossing have been released.
