Palestinian infiltrates IDF base, escapes unharmed
Apparent thief flees base with large amount of office supplies after soldier fires in the air
A Palestinian infiltrated an IDF base in the Jordan Valley Saturday morning and apparently stole a large amount of office supplies. The man fled the base after a soldier who spotted him fired shots into the air.
The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said the Palestinian was unarmed and that the infiltration was criminally-motivated.
The soldier who spotted the thief ordered him to stop and then fired in the air, at which point the suspect fled the scene. IDF forces are scouring the area in search of the man.
The army has launched an investigation into the incident.
