A day earlier, on August 2, the IDF claimed that it neutralized 4 gunmen that were trying to plant an IED on the security fence on the contact line between the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and the government-controlled part of Syria.
Weapons & a bag containing explosives were found just meters from the Israeli security fence between #Israel and #Syria.
Last night, 4 terrorists attempted to plant & use them. We stopped them before they could.
We won’t allow any harm to Israel or our sovereignty. pic.twitter.com/G1RwWjSgAh
