Three activists from the 'Bashan Pioneers' movement crossed into Syrian territory and remained there for several hours Wednesday afternoon before being returned to Israel and handed over to police, according to reports. The group, which has made multiple border-crossing attempts in recent months, continues to provoke security forces, the reports said.
Three activists from the 'Bashan Pioneers' movement crossed into Syrian territory Wednesday afternoon and remained there for several hours before being returned to Israel and transferred to police custody, according to reports from a Hebrew-language news channel.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, the IDF removed the three civilians from Syrian territory in the Mount Hermon area. The military has repeatedly condemned the group's border crossings as criminal offenses that endanger lives and disrupt operations. The 'Bashan Pioneers' movement advocates for establishing Israeli communities in Syria and has made several similar attempts over the past year, with previous incidents involving detentions and court-issued restraining orders.
