An activist from the 'Bashan Pioneers' group, which advocates for establishing Israeli communities in Syria, gave an interview to Reshet Bet from Syrian territory Monday evening. The activist stated that the Bashan region belongs to the Jewish people according to the Torah and expressed hope that the IDF would remain in the area. He claimed that group members are already operating in the field day and night but have not yet been noticed by authorities.
The Zioneer previously reported that the IDF detained 70 'Bashan Pioneers' activists attempting to cross into Syria at Mount Hermon on July 6. The group has made several similar attempts over the past year. The latest interview suggests the group continues to operate and assert its claims despite military enforcement.
