A military source confirmed that all Israeli civilians who had crossed into Lebanon have returned to Israel and were transferred to the Israel Police.
A military source confirmed Wednesday evening that all Israeli civilians who crossed into Lebanon earlier today have returned to Israel and were transferred to the Israel Police, marking the conclusion of the incident. The crossing, which took place near the village of Ghajar, involved a group of 10 girls affiliated with the Uri Tzafon movement, who remained in Lebanese territory for about two hours.
The Zioneer reported at 17:45 Jerusalem that the group had crossed the border. Subsequent updates detailed that the IDF located and arrested the individuals, with the military later confirming that all had been detained. The girls were quoted as stating they intended to reclaim the land. The confirmation from a military source later in the evening that all had returned to Israel and were handed over to police solidified the resolution of the event.
The Uri Tzafon movement, which organized the crossing, has conducted similar operations in recent months, advocating for the establishment of Israeli communities in Lebanon. The incident occurred as the IDF continues operations in southern Lebanon.
The investigation by the Israel Police is ongoing, and the legal status of the individuals remains to be determined.
