"Settling Gaza is possible, settling Gaza is realistic and necessary," one man said.

Several young men were arrested after civilians crossed into the border area between Israel and the Gaza Strip, Army Radio reported on Friday, citing the IDF.

The report followed footage that circulated on social media on Thursday, which appeared to show civilians crossing into the area. 

The military emphasized to Army Radio that no civilian had crossed into Gaza itself.

Overnight, footage of people breaking into the area circulated on social media.

"Settling Gaza is possible, settling Gaza is realistic and necessary," one man said.

“Gaza must be taken from the Gazans,” an unnamed man claiming to be inside Gaza said in one of the videos. Like many in the footage, he wore a bright orange shirt that stated, ‘Return to Gaza!’
