Four Palestinians were apprehended early Thursday evening as they attempted to cross the border from the Gaza Strip into Israel. An IDF spokesperson said one one of the infiltrators was carrying two knives and a hand grenade.

According to reports the suspects were observed by IDF spotters as they approached the border fence and were apprehended immediately after crossing over into Israel.  The suspects were taken for questioning and the IDF is looking into whether they planned to carry out a terrorist attack.
