The all clear is given after a suspected infiltration alert sounded in the West Bank settlement of Elazar, in the Etzion settlement bloc.

The military’s Home Front Command briefly instructed residents to remain inside their homes, and to lock doors and windows.

The alert followed a shooting attack near the settlement of Kiryat Arba near Hebron earlier, during which five people were hurt, including one critically and one seriously.
