Army says Gazan carrying lighter fluid arrested trying to cross border
IDF soldiers detain a Palestinian man who tried to cross into Israel from the southern Gaza Strip, the army says.
The military says the suspect was “trying to damage security infrastructure.”
A pair of wire-cutters and a bottle of flammable liquid are found in the man’s possession, the army says.
He is handed over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning.

In recent months, a number of Palestinians have broken through the security fence and set fire to military posts near the Gaza security fence or to the equipment being used to construct an underground barrier around the coastal enclave.
