The IDF and police apprehended three suspects involved in activities near the Jordanian border in the Nahal Zin area earlier on Thursday, the IDF said Thursday evening.
The suspects have been transferred for questioning and the incident has concluded.
Infiltration along the Israel-Jordan border has been ruled out after earlier reports on Thursday that there was suspicious activity in the area, the IDF reported shortly after the incident.
Israeli security forces were dispatched to an area south of the Dead Sea along the border with Jordan to investigate the report.
