IDF arrests man who illegally crossed into Israel from Syria
Although maybe the IDF would have wanted its forces to fire in the air, the suspect was wounded by the IDF warning fire.
The IDF arrested a suspect near the Syrian-Israeli border on Wednesday.
The suspect approached a security zone area, leading the IDF to fire off some shots to try to distance him from the border.
Although maybe the IDF would have wanted its forces to fire in the air, the suspect was wounded by the IDF warning fire.
In response, the IDF came to the suspect and then evacuated him to an Israeli hospital.
Further, the IDF is probing the incident, possibly because it did not wish the suspect to be shot if he presented a nuisance and did not present an immediate danger.
Previous incidents
Prior to the current war, such events, often involving poor shepherds or persons with mental issues, were not that uncommon.
Often, such persons were questioned and then returned to Syria.
