A small group of Israeli women affiliated with a far-right settler movement illegally crossed into southern Lebanon today, Al Jazeera reports citing The Times of Israel, which cited the Israeli military.

The military has since located most of the group and escorted them back into Israeli territory, while efforts continue to locate remaining members, the report says.

The women are part of the Uri Tzafon Movement, a group that advocates establishing Israeli settlements in southern Lebanon, The Times of Israel reports.

Several far-right Israeli officials, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, have expressed support for Israeli settlements in southern Lebanon.
