Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The Foreign Ministry on Wednesday said it was following up on the arrest of a Jordanian citizen in Eilat, Israel.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Deifallah Fayez said the Jordanian citizen is still detained by the Israeli authorities and is under investigation, adding that work is under way to obtain more details.
The Israeli occupation authorities announced earlier Wednesday that they detained a Jordanian citizen after arriving in the coastal resort city of Eilat by swimming.
Israeli media said that occupation authorities evacuated the beach of people, and deployed forces in Eilat over a "suspicion of a security incident."
