The Border Guard and IDF forces arrested 6 Turkish citizens, including one woman, after they illegally crossed from Jordan to Israeli territory aboard a rubber boat overnight.
Following the discovery of the boats, 4 MGB units were sent to the Avnet area, which conducted searches alongside IDF forces with the assistance of aerial surveillance. All 6 people were caught after they got off the plane and moved west to Israeli territory.
Initial security assessments indicate that they were unarmed migrant workers looking for work in Israel, with no proof of terrorist intentions.
