Suspected right-wing Israeli settlers infiltrate Syria - Israeli settlers breach Syria border in unauthorized Golan Heights crossing

A group of Israeli settlers crossed into Syria from the Golan Heights earlier this week. The Israeli military confirmed the unauthorised border breach and condemned it as a criminal act. Authorities have since detained eight individuals linked to the incident.

The crossing occurred at two separate points along the Golan Heights, according to military statements. Some of those involved reportedly resisted when confronted, leading to a chase before they were handed over to police.

The Israeli military has treated the incident as a serious violation of border security. Those arrested now face legal proceedings under Israeli law. Authorities continue to monitor the area to prevent further unauthorised crossings.
