The Israeli ​military said on Tuesday it apprehended an Egyptian civilian overnight after he crossed ‌a border fence ‌from ​Egyptian ‌territory ⁠into ​Israel near ⁠Nitzana. He was transferred to security forces for further questioning, the military ⁠said, without providing ‌additional details. Drug ‌and arms ​smuggling ‌takes place ‌across the border between Egypt and Israel, neighbouring countries that ‌signed a peace treaty in 1979 ⁠after ⁠decades of war, but cultural and popular ties are limited and marked by distrust.
