“Thousands of Syrian civilians fleeing the hostilities are living under poor conditions in these camps near the Israeli border, often lacking access to water, electricity, food, and other basic necessities,” the Israeli military said on Twitter. “The IDF has provided life-saving humanitarian aid to Syrian civilians through Operation ‘Good Neighbor’ for several years, as a good-will gesture, while maintaining a policy of non-intervention in the Syrian conflict.”
“The IDF is closely monitoring the events transpiring in southern Syrian and is prepared for a wide variety of scenarios, including additional humanitarian aid distribution to Syrians fleeing hostilities,” it concluded.
A Reuters report said more than 120,000 people in southwestern Syria have been forced to leave their homes since the Assad regime launched an offensive to recover an area bordering Israel and Jordan from rebels.
