The suspects managed to enter 500 meters into the Gaza Strip before being returned to Israeli soil, according to Israeli media.

The IDF arrested several settler activists who violently infiltrated a military checkpoint in the Erez crossing and entered Gazan territory, IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari confirmed on Thursday.

The suspects managed to enter 500 meters into the Gaza Strip before being returned to Israeli soil, according to Israeli media.

Israeli media said nine suspects were arrested in the incident for assaulting police officers, as well as disregarding an IDF order.

Some of them will be brought to a court to extend their arrest on Friday.

Hagari said in a press conference on Thursday evening that the suspects hurled "vulgar insults" at IDF soldiers operating near the crossing.

This is a developing story.
