TL;DR Summary

About 100 HaBashan Pioneers activists crossed from the Israel-Syria buffer into Syria on Mount Hermon and were detained by the IDF, which condemned the border crossing. The group claims the authorities used heavy force and confiscated phones, and says it intends to establish a civilian settlement to cement Israeli control in the area. The HaBashan movement has crossed the boundary previously, with earlier detentions in May and April, amid ongoing tensions in the Golan Heights with Syrian militants and concerns over Israeli presence.
