An Egyptian national crossed Israel's border near Nitzana and advanced approximately two kilometers into Israeli territory before being apprehended. During his interrogation by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), the 30-year-old admitted he intended to carry out a "jihad" by murdering Jews and liberating "occupied lands." The incident occurred overnight when the unarmed suspect breached the border fence in the Avuz area, also known as Petach Nitzana. Upon his initial encounter with Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers from the 5025 reserve battalion, he attempted to seize a weapon from them. Military investigations revealed no weapon was found on his person.
