Two migrants seeking work infiltrated into Israel from Jordan a short while ago and reached the community of Yardena, north of Beit She’an, the military says.
The pair apparently managed to reach Yardena undetected until residents of the community encountered them and called the army.
IDF troops were dispatched to the scene and detained them.
The military says there is “no fear of a security incident” and nobody was harmed.
A similar incident occurred on Saturday, with one suspect crossing the border from Jordan and reaching the moshav, also undetected.
