The IDF arrested today (Friday) a Nukhba terrorist who crossed the border line during the October 7 massacre, in an area that was supposed to be 'clear of terrorists.' The terrorist was identified by the forces and arrested, after driving an aid truck and reaching an area under Israeli control in the Gaza Strip. After his arrest, he was transferred to Shin Bet interrogation. Walla learned that the Nukhba terrorist submitted a security request to work as a driver transporting humanitarian aid, and the Shin Bet approved the request. The driver crossed the line, reached the compound, and was arrested by the IDF. A military source said there is concern that the Rafah area will become a space that absorbs Palestinian civilians into whom terrorists and Hamas operatives will manage to infiltrate. The article quotes a security source who referred to messages from Cairo and said that Israel presents a unified position to the Americans and the peace government envoy Nikolai Mladenov - not to allow the entry of goods except through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Another security source emphasized that one of the main lessons from 10/7 is the issue of smuggling into the Strip, and that the IDF and Shin Bet are making a tremendous effort to prevent the smuggling of dual-use materials, military equipment, and ammunition.
