Israel allows Syrian refugees in exceptional cases

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Syrians will be allowed to cross the ceasefire line in the occupied Golan Heights, in "exceptional" cases, after 7 injured Syrians were taken for hospital treatment by Israeli soldiers.

"We will continue to watch over the border and prevent anyone from crossing it and entering Israel except in a few isolated and exceptional circumstances - each of which will be weighed on its own merit," Mr Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting, according to the BBC.
