Israeli civilians enter Palestinian homes near Qusra, Jalud

This is an illegal, indecent, and reprehensible activity that harms the residents of the villages and the fabric of their lives. Following this, and in light of reports of disturbances in the area, a closed military zone order was imposed in the area for non-residents. The IDF strongly condemns incidents of this type. The handling of all those involved in these incidents will be carried out in cooperation with the security forces. If it is found that reservists or regular IDF forces are involved in these incidents, they will be dealt with disciplinarily. Yesterday (Sunday), the passage of an ambulance in the Qotzra area was coordinated, in order to provide a response, through a military crossing to the area of the Palestinian house which is under the closed military zone. Upon the ambulance’s arrival at the crossing, IDF forces identified Israeli civilians inside who were attempting to enter the closed military zone under its cover. Following this, the military force operating at the point conducted a search of the ambulance, and subsequently, a search was conducted by police officers from the Judea and Samaria District. The IDF operates continuously to enable the movement of medical teams, including the passage of ambulances without inspection, provided their movement is coordinated in advance.
