Group of civilians arrested trying to cross into Gaza

Tel Aviv [Israel], April 20 (ANI/TPS): A number of civilians entered the barrier area separating Israel from the Gaza Strip on Sunday evening, but did not cross into Gaza.

An IDF (Israel Defence Forces) unit that was deployed to the scene arrested the civilians and returned them safely to Israeli territory. The civilians were transferred to the Israel Police.

The IDF emphasised that the civilians did not cross into the Gaza Strip.

"Approaching the barrier area is dangerous and interferes with the activities of the security forces in the area," it said. (ANI/TPS)
