Yesterday (Thursday) evening, a report was received of an Israeli citizen, 30 years old, a resident of Givat Ze'ev, who accidentally entered the village of A-Ram in the Binyamin Brigade areas, which is defined as Area A, an area to which entry is prohibited for Israeli citizens and is considered life-threatening.

Upon receiving the report, Border Police fighters from the Jerusalem Encirclement were dispatched to the scene, quickly worked to locate the citizen, and safely rescued him from the village.

The citizen was rescued unharmed, and there were no injuries in the incident.

After his rescue, he said that it was the Google Maps app that led him on a trip through the village.
