Security failures may have enabled Friday’s deadly terror attack — report
The investigation into the terror attack that left three Israelis dead in Halamish on Friday night finds failures in the settlement’s security envelope, Channel 2 reports.
The settlement is surrounded by a fence that detects contact. It reported an extended touch on Friday shortly before the attack, but no forces responded to the detection.
Authorities approved and funded the installation of cameras along the fence, but these were never installed, the investigation finds.
