False alarms regarding the identification of terrorists were activated today (Saturday) in the settlement of Yitzhar in Samaria, but turned out to be false identification. Security forces were dispatched to the scene, and it later emerged that the two suspects identified are actually residents of the settlement. The incident joins a series of similar alarms in the past month: in the settlement of Ofarim in Samaria, an alarm was activated over a suspected terrorist infiltration, and in Kibbutz Zikim near the Gaza border, a serious infiltration concern arose, leading residents to lock themselves in their homes. A resident of Zikim told Walla about his children's severe reaction to the incident, which reminded them of the October 7 attack. The events highlight the ongoing security tension in settlements near the separation barrier and the Gaza border.
