Drama In Beitar Illit: Two suspects Infiltrated Over Shabbos

On Friday evening at around 6:00 clock reports came in of two people that were spotted on the security cameras infiltrating the city between Giva A and Giva B.
Fearing a terror attack, hundreds of security forces were rushed into the city to intercepted the two suspects. The city’s local security team backed by 400 soldiers and Shin Bet internal security agency agents combed the city for hours, going through many apartment and alley ways in search of the infiltrators. The forces also searched the security fence for a breach that might indicate the direction of the suspects.
During the searching a command center was setup where senior security forces commanded the search using trackers and advanced technological systems in an attempt to locate the suspects.

A local resident who experienced the anxiety first hand shared with “Bechdrei Chareidim” details of him witnessing soldiers bursting into his neighbor’s house with loaded and outdrawn weapons. “one of my neighbors left his house without locking the door. He told this to the soldiers and they immediately entered his house with cocked and loaded weapons making sure the suspects were not hiding there”.

At 9:00 in the morning a breach was spotted in the security fence around Givah A, indicating that the suspects had escaped.

Many breaches in the security fence have been spotted lately in the in the Yismach Yisroel and Ohev Yisriel streets. Cars can get very close to the fence on these streets which makes it a prime choice for burglars. There is great concern that these break-ins can be perpetrated by terrorists as well.
