Israeli woman who crossed into Syria could serve 4 years in prison
Dr. Aaron Lerner 20 February 2021
"So far no one has stopped me - no fence, no border, no gate, no wall. But
you can keep trying" YNET quotes from an entry on the Facebook page of the
Israeli woman released from Syria in a deal brokered by Moscow.
Law for the Prevention of Infiltration (Offenses and Judgment), 1954
2 a. Whoever, knowingly and unlawfully, leaves Israel for ...Syria...is
liable to imprisonment for four years...
It remains to be seen if Israeli authorities apply the law to this case.
