While I haven't looked at the scripting DOM and I guess I could if you were stuck, I think the quick answer is to do this in IDML.

Ideally you can export all relevant docs to IDML, open the IDML (which requires unzipping, as I'm sure you, AM, know, but perhaps not all others reading do), find the relevant section on Articles, cut and paste into the destination document, and re-zip. Then reopen in InDesign.

Now…this might not work smoothly. Perhaps the IDML references articles by Article ID# and those numbers may not have been preserved when you moved the articles with Move Pages.

But I would give it a quick test and see, if I were in this boat.
