A serious security incident was revealed today (Monday) on the smuggling highway at the Jordanian border in Arava in the Jewish voice. About a week and a half ago a vehicle crossed the border from Jordan, got on road 90 and disappeared. The IDF spokesman commented on the case and he said: "The incident is being investigated".

A few months ago, the residents of the settlements in the Jordan Valley woke up to a stressful message from the council's security officer who informed them that "at this time, a suspected security incident in the area of ​​the Yarmouch River and the border with Jordan is being investigated, but there are no changes in the instructions to the residents of the council."

Later the details began to become clear, around 3:40 am an alert was received at the border fence with Jordan, a short distance from Kibbutz Ashdot Ya'akov. It is not clear what was done with the warning, but only in the morning was a cut in the border and traces of the footsteps of at least six people discovered, Mako reported.

It is estimated that these are migrant workers, illegal residents who pay Jordanian smugglers to transport them in order to find work in Israel. The residents of the area are not reassured by this explanation, and according to them, "what starts as a criminal incident may quickly progress to a potential terror incident."

According to the report, one of the residents told them: "We are not ready to accept this situation. We have all seen the photos from the cover on 10/7, we have all heard for years the explanations of the security establishment in the south and now they are explaining to us in the north that this is a criminal and not a nationalist incident. We need to stop and immediately This loophole.

This event undermines all our sense of security in this place," she added.

An IDF spokesperson said at the time: "This morning, IDF forces detected suspicious footprints in the area of ​​the border fence with Jordan near Ashad Ya'akov. The security forces are searching the area for the suspects."
