Israel's Population and Immigration Authority deported 14 foreign nationals over the weekend following their arrest on suspicion of involvement in disturbances near Ras Karkar. The individuals, who were in Israel on tourist visas, had their visas revoked due to their alleged participation in the incident. They were flown to various destinations after hearings were conducted.
Security forces, including IDF soldiers and Border Police from Judea and Samaria, were dispatched to the scene following reports of disturbances. They detained 17 people: the 14 foreign nationals and three Palestinians, suspected of disturbing the peace and violating legal orders. The suspects were taken for questioning at the Modi'in Illit police station.
Police investigations, in collaboration with the foreign desk of the Judea and Samaria District's Central Unit, indicated that the foreign nationals may have come to the area to provoke confrontations and advance anti-Israel media campaigns internationally. Authorities stated that some of the suspects support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
Following the interrogation of the foreign nationals, police transferred the investigation materials to the Population and Immigration Authority. The Authority's Enforcement and Foreigners Administration managed the deportation process, which resulted in the 14 individuals, citizens of the United States, Italy, Germany, and Canada, being flown out of Israel. The investigation into the three Palestinian suspects is ongoing.
