IDF officials are probing just how an Eritrean illegal alien managed to get into a classified base in the center of the country, a base that hosts undercover units. The man taken into custody got into the base and was walking around for “quite some time” until his presence was detected.

Officials report security and sentry posts on the base are known to be extremely high, adding to the frustration of commanders after learning of the breach.

The man was taken into custody and is being questioned to determine why he entered the base. Officials are anxious to rule out that he was gathering intelligence information. The report is confirmed by the IDF Spokesman’s Office, which added the illegal entered the base during the morning hours on Wednesday, 16 Nissan 5773.
