IDF sweeps Zikim area for suspected infiltrators
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIDF forces are conducting sweeps in the area of Kibbutz Zikim after receiving reports of suspected infiltrators from Gaza.
Similar sweeps have taken place in recent days. Most turn out to be false alarms, but Hamas has already launched several attacks through tunnels on IDF positions inside Israel, and the army is deployed to prevent a similar attack against the towns and villages of the area.
Two villages in the Zikim area are currently on lockdown, with residents ordered by security forces to lock doors and windows and remain indoors.
