Terrorist infiltration sirens sounded in Harasha in the West Bank on Friday evening after several suspects were seen outside the settlement, according to the IDF.

IDF troops deployed to the scene and opened fire toward the suspects. The suspects fled the area, and troops have begun a manhunt to find them.

Home Front Command announced that the incident ended approximately 25 minutes after the alarms sounded.

It had earlier said that residents should enter a nearby building immediately, lock the doors, and close the windows.

Thursday night saw several suspects illegally crossing into Israel from the Jordanian border, who were then identified and arrested by the IDF after an exchange of gunfire between the troops.

The IDF also said that the suspects approached the Israeli troops in a manner that was deemed threatening prior to their arrest.

The first infiltration activity reported this week was at the Dead Sea on Sunday, which was deemed a false alarm.
