Jerusalem, 24 October, 2019 (TPS) -- IDF forces on Wednesday night captured two Arabs who infiltrated Israel from the Gaza Strip.
The IDF stated that its forces arrested the two who crossed the fence in the southern Gaza Strip into Israeli territory. The suspects were unarmed.
No one was wounded in the incident.
Infiltration attempts on the border with the Strip happen several times a week, usually by Gazan Arabs seeking work in Israel. However, the Israeli forces treat each such incident as a potential terrorist attack.
In related news, Israeli forces carrying out counter-terrorism operations throughout Judea and Samaria arrested 13 wanted persons suspected of involvement in terror activities and violent disturbances against civilians and soldiers. The suspects were transferred for questioning.
