The Home Front Command says it has ruled out a terrorist infiltration in the West Bank settlement of Shavei Shomron, after sirens were triggered in the community.

Residents are free to leave their homes following the scare.

The sirens were triggered after a technician who arrived at the settlement was misidentified, according to a preliminary military investigation.
