IDF arrests 4 Gazans who crossed border, one with grenade and knives
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli soldiers arrest four Palestinian suspects, one of them armed, who entered Israel from the southern Gaza Strip, the army says.
According to the military, one of the suspects was carrying a grenade and two knives when he was arrested.
“The suspects were apprehended and transferred to security forces for further questioning,” the army says.
The suspects’ intentions are not immediately clear. There have been cases of Gazans entering Israel with weapons not to carry out attacks, but in order to be arrested and sent to prison, rather than remain in the beleaguered coastal enclave, which is run by the Hamas terrorist group.
