‘Number’ of Palestinians arrested after crossing into Israel from Gaza

Israeli soldiers arrest “a number” of Palestinians who tried to cross into Israeli territory during a violent protest along the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip this evening, the army says.

“The suspects were tracked by troops the entire time they moved [toward the border] and they were arrested next to the security fence,” the army says.

An army spokesperson says she is not yet sure exactly how many people were arrested.

The suspects have been handed over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning.
