Two suspects who allegedly slipped across the border from Jordan were detained by Israeli forces following a search, the army says.
The two suspects, who were detained near the border, “were turned over to be dealt with [by] security forces,” the Israel Defense Force says in a statement.
The army said shortly after midnight that it had launched a manhunt in the Dead Sea area after footprints were found on the border with Jordan.
A military source says the pair were likely work migrants seeking employment.
