Border security forces detected Haroun, 31, approaching the border. They warned him before chasing and arresting him, and he is now being interrogated.
Israeli reports estimated that about 10,000 African migrants have entered Israel illegally in the past few years. They are hired on Israeli settlements and farms as cheap labor.
