IDF Hunts Down Israelis Who Smashed Fence and Stormed Into Syria

IDF forces kicked off a high-stakes chase deep into Syrian territory after a group of daring Israeli civilians bulldozed through the border fence, charging across to stake their claim in southern Syria. The bold intruders from the 'Chalutzei HaBashan' movement raced to the abandoned village of Quneitra, Israeli-held from the Six-Day War until 1974, vowing to settle the historic Bashan region. "Blessed be God, we're walking our ancestors' land!" they declared, calling on the government to let them stay and not boot them out.

But the adventure was short-lived: IDF troops leaped into action at two breach points in the Golan Heights and Hermon areas, locating the group after tense confrontations. All were hauled back to Israeli soil under military escort, with suspects handed over to police for questioning. "The civilians were returned safely," the IDF confirmed, slamming the door on any frontier freelancing.

This border-busting drama unfolds amid explosive revelations from Defense Minister Israel Katz: Israel is ditching peace talks with Syria's al-Julani because rogue forces, including Yemen's Houthis, are plotting ground invasions into the Golan! Katz spilled the beans in a closed Knesset session, warning of a potential "Al-Aqsa Flood"-style assault that could blindside Israel.

With Houthis training for chaos and minorities like Druze and Alawites erupting in protests against al-Sharaa (al-Julani), chanting "Federation now!" and "Our blood isn't cheap!", Syria's powder keg is primed to explode.

As al-Julani woos the world with UN charm offensives, his home front crumbles: Alawites and Druze unite in defiance, even praising Israel amid massacre fears.
