Israeli forces apprehended four unarmed suspects in northern Baka as they attempted to cross the fence into Israel, approximately two days after an attack on the Allenby crossing. The arrests occurred within the reporting window of 7:36 PM to 8:36 PM UTC on September 19th, 2025. Authorities suspect the individuals may be workers. These arrests follow recent developments in the region, including the facilitation of aid into Gaza and the arrest of a Hamas-affiliated media figure. Over the past hour, Israeli forces conducted the operation in northern Baka, detaining the four individuals before they could breach the border. Previous reports indicate that thousands of tents and tarpaulins have been facilitated by Israel for distribution to Gazans via the Kerem Shalom crossing, with over 24,000 tents having entered Gaza recently. Additionally, Mustafa Ayash, founder of the Hamas-linked Gaza Now channel, was arrested at Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands and faces transfer to Austrian authorities for alleged fundraising for Hamas. Former hostage Edan Alexander also announced his intention to rejoin the IDF after being held captive for 584 days.
