The fact that the infiltrators had come from Syria was established through an investigation conducted jointly by Israeli and Lebanese representatives on the Israel-Lebanon MAC. Tracks showed that tie infiltrators crossed from Syria into Lebanon, then entered Israel, and returned to Syria again via Lebanon.
