An unarmed Palestinian has been arrested by Israeli troops as he attempted to infiltrate into Israel from the Gaza Strip early this morning, the military says.

The Israel Defense Forces says soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras identified the suspect attempting to cross the security barrier in the central part of Gaza.

Troops dispatched to the scene arrest the suspect and take him to the Shin Bet security agency for further questioning.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip frequently attempt to illegally enter Israeli territory, often with hopes of fleeing the beleaguered enclave.
