The source explained that the past few days have witnessed an increase in the number of these operations and their transformation from infiltration and smuggling attempts into armed clashes, with the aim of crossing the border by force by targeting border guard forces.

And added, "These clashes are a continuation of what these armed groups have been doing for days, which resulted in the killing of a number of smugglers, the arrest of one of them, the martyrdom of a member of the armed forces, and the injury of another."
