The move highlights ongoing tensions in the occupied territory, occurring just a week after reports surfaced that the Israeli government approved a $334 million five-year plan to develop infrastructure and increase the Israeli population in the Golan Heights. While international law considers the Golan Heights occupied Syrian territory and settlements there illegal, these activists are pushing for even deeper incursions into the region.
