By World Israel News Staff

IDF troops arrested on Saturday two suspects who attempted to infiltrate Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported.

The suspects were carrying a bag containing hand grenades when arrested.

They were taken in for interrogation by Israel’s security services.

On Thursday, a Palestinian suspect was shot and killed after approaching the Gaza border fence.

Following the incident, the IDF said that the suspect was accompanied by other men and was acting in a suspicious way. The suspect was “digging in the ground while carrying a suspicious bag,” an IDF statement read.

IDF troops opened fire and killed the suspect.

He was later identified by Gaza health officials as 40-year-old Mohammad Abd al-Karim Abu Ammar.

Palestinian media later reported that he was walking near the border while bird hunting.
