Police were put on alert in the southern city of Eilat on Wednesday after a Jordanian man crossed the border by sea and arrived at a beach in the Israeli resort city, but fears of a security incident were quickly lifted.
Questioned by security forces, the suspect said he was in despair due to the economic situation in Jordan and wanted to seek a better future, Hebrew-language media reported.
