Following scans, the IDF confirms that all of the Israeli civilians who entered Mukhmas overnight have since left the West Bank Palestinian village.
“All of the civilians were located, and the concern of a security incident was ruled out,” the military says.
The Israelis, reportedly a group of around 10 Hssidic Jews, had been on the run from the police after allegedly committing traffic violations. The cops stopped chasing them as they fled into Mukhmas, where their vehicle flipped over and crashed.
