The Israeli military is operating in the Golan Heights, along the border with Syria, to
prevent an influx of Syrian refugees, the IDF confirmed Thursday. The
confirmation came after an Al Jazeera reported the military activity.
Al Jazeera published images of IDF bulldozers
in the border area and said the IDF is preparing for the possibility of
refugee influxes and illegal border crossings.
On Monday, President Shimon Peres said
that any forceful attempts by Syrians to cross Israel’s border would be
met with force. Attempts to cross the border peacefully but illegally,
he said, would be stopped with civilian means, “the way any country
defended her border.”
