On July 5, about 100 such activists crossed into the Syrian side of Mount Hermon and were subsequently detained by the IDF.<\/p>\n

The IDF detained several Israeli civilians in the Golan Heights<\/a> on Monday after they attempted to cross into Syrian terrority, the military said.<\/p>\n

The Israelis were then transferred to the Israel Police<\/a> for further handling, according to the IDF.<\/p>\n

The military emphasized that illegal border crossings are dangerous and a “serious offense,” noting that it expects Israeli law enforcement to prevent such incidents in the future.<\/p>\n

The incident follows similar occurrences on Wednesday and Thursday when right-wing “HaBashan Pioneers<\/a>” movement activists attempted to cross the border in promotion of the establishment of a Jewish settlement in the area.<\/p>\n

On July 5, about 100 such activists crossed into the Syrian side of Mount Hermon and were subsequently detained by the IDF.<\/p>\n

Activists accuse IDF of ‘severe violence’<\/p>\n

In that case, the activists accused the military of using “severe violence” to detain them.<\/p>\n

They added that the IDF confiscated their phones, despite their “complete passivity.”<\/p>\n

The movement claims its actions come amid attempted attacks by Syrian<\/a> terrorists against northern Israeli communities.<\/p>\n

“The events appear to be part of a slow but consistent deterioration and erosion of Israeli control in these areas by the terrorists and the hostile population in the area,” said HaBashan.<\/p>\n
