Israeli Defense Forces arrested a Palestinian man early on Sunday morning for attempting to sabotage security measures along the Gaza border fence, at the Karni Crossing.
The man, who the military says is a member of Hamas, was transferred for investigation by security forces.
A video distributed by the Israeli army shows thermal imaging of a man climbing the fence and tampering with what appears to be a security camera. The video included a caption reading: “During operational activity, IDF identified a terrorist belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization as he hampers security measures in the Karni Crossing under the cover of the mist.”
“This is part of the initiative led by the terrorist organization Hamas to apply a civilian guise for its terrorist efforts and turn the fence perimeter into a war zone,” a statement by the military 1said.
On Friday, following the protests along the border, Palestinian media reported four were wounded in Israeli bombings across the Gaza Strip. IDF spokesperson released a statement shortly after the reports, confirming the airstrike, saying it was in response to the “terrorist actions and extensive attempts to breach Israeli territory earlier today.”
