Video Shows Border Police Rescue Israeli From A-Ram Area A

Israeli outlets published footage Friday of Jerusalem-area Border Police rescuing a 30-year-old Israeli from Givat Ze'ev who mistakenly entered A-Ram, an Area A village north of Jerusalem, on Thursday evening. Police said Israeli citizens are barred from entering Area A because it is dangerous and can be life-threatening. The reports said the forces located the man quickly, extracted him safely and no one was hurt. The episode is a reminder that Israel's security forces still have to respond fast to civilian navigation mistakes around Palestinian Authority-controlled areas while keeping the public away from avoidable danger.
