The State Security Agency (SSA) is monitoring the ongoing, deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas - and South Africans participating will be prosecuted, said Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.
Like other ministers in the security cluster, Ntshavheni was responding to questions in the National Assembly on Wednesday.
The NFP's Munzoor Shaik-Emam asked: "Considering that it is well-known that many South Africans are serving in the Israel Defense Forces, which poses a serious risk to the Republic, what measures has the government put in place to prevent (a) such a risk and (b) South Africans from serving in foreign armies?"
