Israeli settlers who breached Syria border returned by military

A group of Israeli settlers crossed the border into southern Syria in an attempt to establish new settlements. The settlers, part of a group called "Pioneers of the Bashan," cut through the border fence with the intention of settling a biblical area they believe is their historical right. The Israeli military apprehended the individuals, who clashed with soldiers, and returned them to Israeli territory. The military condemned the action as a grave incident and a criminal offense that endangered both civilians and soldiers.
