Jerusalem Border Police rescued an Israeli citizen on Thursday who accidentally entered the village of A-Ram, located north of Jerusalem in Area A of the West Bank.
Israeli citizens are strictly prohibited from entering Area A; police emphasized in their statement that entering this region is “extremely dangerous and can be life-threatening.”
On Thursday evening, police received a report about a 30-year-old Israeli man from the Givat Ze’ev settlement who inadvertently found himself in A-Ram.
Border Police in the Jerusalem area were dispatched to the scene and quickly located and escorted the man to safety.
On Monday, the IDF and Border Police rescued ten Israeli civilians who had entered the West Bank town of Kalkilya, also located in Area A, a region forbidden to Israeli citizens.
The Israelis had entered the area to search for a stolen motorcycle, according to Israel Police. Locals surrounded the Israelis upon noticing them, with the IDF and Border Police arriving soon after to separate the groups and extract the Israelis.
