The group, which advocates for expanding Jewish settlements beyond the 1974 ceasefire line, had some members chain themselves to the border fence while others crossed into Syrian territory near Majdal Shams. The Israeli military intervened, returning the activists to Israeli territory and detaining them. Halutzei HaBashan, founded in April 2025, has grown into a more organized movement with support from Israeli politicians.

The movement openly calls for the expulsion of Sunni and Shia populations in the area, reflecting a radical nationalist agenda.

Las fuerzas israelíes arrestaron a cinco mujeres activistas en la ocupada Cisjordania temprano el miércoles por la mañana durante redadas en sus hogares.

El esposo de Etaf Bader describió cómo los soldados irrumpieron en su casa en Hebrón, la identificaron y la arrestaron sin explicar la razón. Fue esposada y vendada antes de ser transportada en un vehículo militar, sin que su familia supiera su paradero. El incidente destaca las tensiones en curso entre las autoridades israelíes y los activistas palestinos.
