Israeli security forces have detained three foreign nationals in Hebron on suspicion of documenting IDF soldiers and security positions. The incident began Sunday when a soldier at a checkpoint between the Jewish settlement and Palestinian areas of Hebron observed the three foreigners filming the post and its personnel. A preliminary check of their devices revealed additional photos of soldiers from previous shifts.
Investigators from the Hebron station in the Judea region questioned the soldier and took the three into custody for further interrogation. During the investigation, intelligence revealed that one of the detainees is a prominent anti-Israel activist and president of the organization Agir pour la Palestine, known for promoting boycotts and provocations as part of the BDS movement.
The evidence and intelligence were compiled for a hearing regarding their deportation from Israel, and relevant consulate representatives were notified. The three were interrogated and held overnight. On Monday, they were transferred to the Population and Immigration Authority for a hearing, after which a decision was made to deport them within 24 hours. They are currently being held at a dedicated facility pending their flight.
The Judea and Samaria district of the police emphasized their continued cooperation with all enforcement agencies to thwart friction, incitement, and disturbances.
