IDF soldiers arrested two Arabs on Friday after they intentionally crossed into Israeli territory from Syria.
Israeli forces are closely monitoring the northern border, as Iranian efforts — and those of Iranian proxy group Hezbollah — continue towards establishing military bases in Syria.
IDF says troops arrested two suspects who crossed the Alpha Line from Syria in the southern Golan Heights this morning.

The two infiltrators crossed the border in the southern Golan Heights, according to the IDF, which said they were arrested in a “planned ambush.” There was no information on whether the infiltrators were armed.
A statement by the IDF said, “The ambush was carried out as part of the continued effort to defend the border.”
The suspects were transferred to security forces for further investigation.
