If you are referring to the event wherein the Assyrians scattered the Ten Lost Tribes of the Kingdom of Israel, the event was not uncommon in those days. The underlying idea was that people were very land-driven and community-driven. If a person was taken away from his community and his land, he would become more docile and less likely to revolt against Assyrian authority. Most peoples, like Arameans, Ugaritic, Hittite, and other nations that were similarly defeated were similarly scattered. The only reason we remember Israel is that the Southern Kingdom of Judah, which shared an origin story with the Northern Kingdom of Israel, was not conquered and disbursed by the Assyrians.
