"❗️Jewish settlers detained after attempting to plant trees in Gaza as prelude to new settlements Several Jewish settlers entered the Gaza Strip on Wednesday night in an attempt to plant trees as a first step toward establishing new settlements, but they were detained by Israeli forces. The Israeli army said soldiers monitored the civilians at all times using surveillance cameras. Troops in the area apprehended the settlers, returned them to Israel, and handed them over to police for questioning. “The IDF emphasizes that any entry into a combat zone is prohibited, endangers civilians, and disrupts the activity of IDF troops in the area,” the military stated. During the brief incursion, the settlers shared a video on social media showing a man holding a sapling inside Gaza, declaring his intent to plant it. “We came to plant for the Jewish settlement in Gaza. All of the Land of Israel is ours,” he said." - Source
