An Egyptian citizen who infiltrated into Israel overnight was apprehended by soldiers in the eastern region of the Golan Heights. The man was turned over to the custody of Israel Police and was questioned by them as well as by agents of the General Security Service. In the course of his interrogation, the man claimed that he is a journalist. A search of his person did not reveal any weapons or explosives. Officials are therefore confident at this stage of the investigation that he did not plan to carry out a terrorist attack.
