A civilian paratrooper surprised security forces in the Jordan Valley this evening (Monday) after parachuting over the Jewish community of Mevo’ot Yericho without prior coordinating with the IDF beforehand.
Kan News reported that security forces deployed in the area to search for the parachute for fear that the incident was a terrorist infiltration from Jordanian territory.
It was later determined that the parachute is an Israeli who was unaware that such jumps must be coordinated with the security forces to prevent similar misunderstandings.
