A suspected terrorist infiltration alert sounded earlier tonight in the West Bank settlement of Alei Zahav.

According to a military source, a vehicle breached the settlement’s borders via the entrance gate.

The vehicle that breached into Alei Zahav is listed as stolen, and the incident is being described by the military as criminal and not terror-related.

The suspect drove into the settlement on the opposite lane, hitting a spike barrier. He then fled the scene on foot.

IDF troops are searching for the suspect.
