Israelis Crossing Border into Syria Detained and Returned
Approximately 14 Israeli civilians crossed the border into Syria near Alon HaBashan on Tuesday evening, prompting a swift response from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The group, identified as activists from the "Halutzei HaBasan" movement, which aims to establish settlements in Syria, was located by IDF forces and returned to Israeli territory. They were subsequently detained and handed over to the Israel Police for further processing.
The border crossing occurred shortly before 8:00 PM, following a report of their entry into Syrian territory. IDF soldiers were deployed to the area to secure the border.
IDF Spokesperson's Unit strongly condemned the incident, labeling it a "severe disruption to operational activity" and a danger to the security of forces operating in the area. The IDF urged law enforcement agencies to prosecute those involved, emphasizing that crossing into Syria is a recurring criminal offense.
The civilians who were returned to Israel are now under police investigation.
