IDF searching for suspects who crossed Jordanian border, says there’s no security threat

The infiltration incident on the Jordanian border is under control, police say, after two suspects entered Israeli territory near the community of Paran, prompting the IDF to dispatch troops to the scene.

In addition, at least eight apparent Jordanian soldiers were identified trying to chase after the two suspects as they infiltrated Israel. However, all eight returned to Jordan, according to security sources.

The IDF is still searching for the two suspects who breached the border, though police say that “a security incident has been ruled out.”
