Israeli crosses border fence into Gaza; IDF investigating
The IDF says an Israeli national has crossed the border fence in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. The army is looking into the incident.
The initial investigation shows that the man, who is of Bedouin ethnicity, entered via central Gaza, and was spotted by IDF troops monitoring the border. The army is trying to ascertain why he decided to enter the Strip.
Hamas is currently believed to be holding two Israelis captive in the Strip, as well as the bodies of two IDF soldiers who died in fighting during the 2014 conflict there.
