Two groups of activists from the Bashan Pioneers movement have arrived in the Mount Hermon area beyond the border, according to a report by Guy Varon (N12). The activists said their goal is to establish permanent civilian settlement in the area.
Two groups of activists from the Bashan Pioneers movement have reportedly crossed into Syria near Mount Hermon, according to a report by journalist Guy Varon (N12). The activists stated that their objective is the establishment of a permanent civilian settlement in the area.
The Bashan Pioneers movement advocates for Israeli settlement in the Syrian Golan Heights and beyond. The group has made several previous attempts to cross into Syria, which were intercepted by the IDF, as The Zioneer has reported. In earlier incidents, dozens of activists were detained and handed over to police.
It remains unclear whether the IDF is aware of the current crossing, and whether any military response or detention has occurred. The report did not specify the exact location or the number of activists involved beyond 'two groups.'
