Dozens of foreign and Israeli activists were detained by IDF, Border Police, and Judea and Samaria Police forces on Monday for participating in an uncoordinated olive harvest in an unauthorized agricultural area near the city of Beitar Illit. Following a joint investigation by the police, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and security agencies, 32 activists were questioned and released on restrictive conditions. Four additional foreign activists remain in custody due to observed anti-Israel activity and support for organizations operating against Israel. These four are scheduled to be transferred to the Population and Immigration Authority on Tuesday for a hearing before their potential deportation from Israel. Another 40 individuals who were initially detained were released later in the afternoon after no suspicions arose during their examination.
