The others in the group agreed to "go back the way they came" to Egypt, a spokesman for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
"It is important that everyone understand that Israel is no longer a destination for infiltrators. We are determined to stop the flood of infiltrators that has been here," Mr Netanyahu said in a statement.
