Israeli Occupation Forces stated Wednesday it had stopped around 40 settlers as they attempted to illegally enter Syria. They were at the border and managed to infiltrate several hundred miles before being stopped by ‘Israeli’ forces.
The IOF claimed it "strongly condemns this incident" and handed the settlers over to the police.
Who were they?
The group of settlers was identified as part of a right-wing group called “Pioneers of Bashan, " who aim to establish new Jewish settlements in parts of Lebanon and Syria.
Footage was posted on X showing dozens of settlers on a rooftop waving the 'Israeli' flag. The post included a caption writing "Without civilian settlement, even the military hold won't last long term, we're here until they approve our families to enter and live here."
This group has had many past incidents where they attempted to enter Syrian territory but were stopped by the 'Israeli' army.
