The IDF’s Home Front Command gives residents of the central West Bank settlement of Haresha the all-clear after sirens had warned of a suspected terrorist infiltration.

The sirens were activated after at least two suspects were spotted outside the settlement.

The IDF says troops dispatched to the scene opened fire at the suspects, who fled the area. Troops are now searching for them.

“There is no suspicion of an infiltration into the community,” the military adds.
