Israeli police have arrested two European activists who allegedly flew into Israel with the intention of provoking conflict and unrest during olive harvests in Samaria. The activists, suspected of supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, were detained by IDF forces from the Binyamin regional brigade on Tuesday as they arrived at olive harvesting sites in Samaria. Authorities claim the individuals aimed to promote and amplify anti-Israel media campaigns internationally, sympathize with terror organizations, present them as legitimate entities, and advocate for the destruction of the State of Israel. Following their arrest, the activists were taken for interrogation at the Judea and Samaria District headquarters. After the investigation and evidence gathering, their case was transferred to the Population and Immigration Authority for a hearing and a decision regarding their deportation from Israel. Police stated that efforts to combat left-wing provocateurs are a joint initiative involving security forces, focusing on preventing disturbances that harm Israel's image.
