Israeli security forces arrested 17 individuals, including 14 foreign nationals and 3 Palestinians, near the Palestinian village of Ras Karkar, west of Ramallah, on suspicion of disturbing the peace. Police allege that some of the detainees are supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and that their intention was to provoke confrontations and advance anti-Israel campaigns globally.
The incident began following a report of a disturbance in the area, prompting the deployment of IDF and Border Police units. The suspects were detained and transferred for questioning at the Modi'in Illit police station. Investigations, conducted in cooperation with the foreign desk of the Judea and Samaria District's Central Unit, revealed suspicions that the foreign nationals arrived in the region specifically to instigate provocations and clashes, and to leverage any resulting events for international media campaigns against Israel.
