The IDF still has no confirmation of the reported kidnapping in the northern West Bank, but it is taking the report seriously, a military source says.
A civilian at the Tapuah Junction reported to local security officials that he heard a woman shouting “Help!” in Hebrew from the back of a vehicle with Palestinian license plates. The vehicle then drove off.
Security authorities passed on the report to the IDF, which is now blocking roads in the area and searching for the vehicle.
