Since February 2013, more than 1,200 Syrian women, men and children
have made their way across the Syrian-Israeli border to be treated for free in Israeli hospitals– regardless of the fact that Syria is an enemy state of Israel.

ISRAEL21c reporter, Viva Sarah Press at TLV1 Radio  talks to
doctors Amram Hadary, director of the trauma unit at Ziv Medical Center in Tsfat (Safed), and Samuel Tobias, a senior neurosurgeon at the Medical Center of the Galilee in Nahariya, about why Syrians are willing to trust the enemy with their lives.
