IDF Extracts 13 Activists After Two Syria Border Breaches as Police Investigate

The coordinated incursions reflect a repeat effort by the Bashan Pioneers to plant an outpost across the Golan line.

Overview

  • Thirteen Israeli civilians tied to the Bashan Pioneers crossed into Syrian territory in two incidents near Bir Ajam and Mount Hermon, the IDF said.
  • Troops pursued the groups, reported scuffles with some participants, extracted all individuals, and transferred them to Israel Police for questioning.
  • The military condemned the actions as a grave criminal offense that endangered civilians and soldiers.
  • Army Radio reported one group opened a military gate and drove a vehicle bearing Israeli flags inside Syrian territory before being stopped.
  • The same network staged a similar breach in August, signaling a deliberate campaign that tests security on the Golan frontier.
