Army issues clarification, says Gazan didn’t enter Israel
The military corrects its previous statement regarding a Palestinian who tried to cross into Israel from Gaza, saying the man had not been arrested, but instead fled back into the coastal enclave as Israeli troops arrived.
Initially, the military said the suspect was picked up as he entered Israel, near the community fo Zikim. An army spokesperson clarifies that this was not the case.
The man was spotted as he approached the border and ran back toward Gaza as troops came to arrest him, the army says.
