On the night of August 8, IDF soldiers conducted a search near Kibbutz Zikim on the Gaza border after a local security officer reported damage and a cut in the border fence. Residents were instructed to stay in their homes. The search lasted about two hours, after which the military confirmed there was no security threat. No suspicious individuals were found, and it was impossible to determine the exact time of the fence damage. IDF forces reviewed surveillance footage and found no signs of infiltration from the Gaza Strip. About two hours later, residents were allowed to return to their normal routine. A female resident expressed serious concern, saying her children were trembling with fear and crying, and that the nightmare of October 7 had returned. Earlier, it was reported that the military spotted suspects attempting to cross the fence near Rafah.
