Border Police rescue Israeli citizen after accidental entry into Area A near Ramallah
Border Police officers earlier this week rescued an Israeli citizen from Holon who had accidentally entered Area A near the Ramallah area after getting lost, Israel Police confirmed on Wednesday morning.
Upon receiving a report of the Israeli’s entry, a Border Police team was sent out to search for the individual. Officers succeeded in contacting the Israeli over the phone before locating his vehicle and escorting him from the area.
Entry to Area A, which is under the Palestinian Authority’s civil and security control, is prohibited for Israelis.
On Sunday, soldiers from the Coordinator of the Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT)’s Civil Administration rescued three Israeli Jews who had separately entered Area A near Bethlehem, Jericho, and Ramallah.
One of the Israeli Jews was spotted near the village of Ein Arik, while armed. Officers from the Binyamin Region’s Coordination and Liaison Administration worked to rescue him through coordination channels before transferring him to the IDF.
