Israeli soldiers arrested five border infiltrators from Jordan early this morning, according to military sources.
Troops monitoring surveillance cameras spotted the five crossing the border, and dispatched troops to the scene.
Another two suspects were spotted by troops on the Jordanian side of the border.
The unarmed suspects are believed by the Israel Defense Forces to be work migrants.
The military will return them to Jordan later today.
