A Palestinian man who attempted to infiltrate into Israel earlier this evening was killed in a drone strike, the IDF says.
According to the military, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted the suspect approaching Israel’s border barrier from the southern Gaza Strip.
Troops were dispatched to the scene, and the suspect began to flee back to Gaza. A short while later, he was struck by a drone and killed, the IDF says.
It says the suspect did not cross the barrier amid the incident.
