Operation Good Neighbor

Operation Good Neighbor (, "Shkhenut Tova", lit. "Good neighborliness") was a directive of the Northern Command's Division 210 of Israel Defence Forces (IDF) that was responsible for civilian aid to Syrian citizens who were affected by the Syrian Civil War.
Background.
In June 2016 the directive was established and in August its first activity took place. Since then, it carried out more than 110 types of aid operations. Coordination and control of humanitarian activities was managed by "Good Neighbor", and Division 210 forces assisted in the transport of equipment and in securing the operations. About 400 families lived in tent camps near the border and the rest had lived in villages or in open fields. About a third of the residents were displaced persons or refugees, half of whom were minors. The patients brought to Israel for treatment were mostly treated in hospitals in northern Israel, mainly at the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya and the Rebecca Sieff Hospital in Safed.
According to the IDF, aid to Syrian civilians was motivated by both conscience and security interests. The IDF did not want to stand by in the face of the humanitarian crisis in Syria, and aid could create a less hostile environment across the border.
Gadi Eisenkot, Israeli Defense Forces’ Chief of Staff admitted that Israel supplied rebels at the border with light weapons.
Aid was given in three ways:
In 2017, a Maternity hospital was opened in the Syrian village of Bariqa, without any equipment. Following its outreach to Israel, incubators, anesthesia machines and ultrasound devices were sent. The aid was partially funded from aid organizations and partly from the state budget.
On September 13, 2018, the IDF announced the closure of "Operation Good Neighbor" following the return of the Assad government to power in the entirety of southern Syria and along the "de facto" border with Israel.
