Israeli woman who crossed into Syria handed 8-month jail sentence
The unidentified woman was released in February in a swap deal reportedly brokered by Syria's main ally Russia.
An Israeli woman who earlier this year crossed the border into Syria “seeking adventure” has been sentenced to eight months in prison by an Israeli court.
Haaretz reports that the Nazareth Magistrate's Court convicted the woman of “illegally crossing the border into Syria, another breach of the law governing entry into Israel, violating a legal order, and interfering with a police officer's duty.”
