A British tourist has reportedly been deported from Israel over alleged anti-Zionist social media activity after she was detained by soldiers in a “military zone”.

The woman, named by Haaretz as 35-year-old Janet Adyeri, reportedly violated an IDF closure order in the West Bank after entering the country on a tourist visa.

According to police, Adyeri refused to identify herself and threatened an official from a nearby settlement, which led to her arrest on public order grounds.

During questioning, officers allegedly discovered that she had made a series of “online posts critical of Israeli police officers and soldiers” and was a member of a group that had called for the boycott of Israel, prompting her deportation.
