Security officials were on hand Tuesday night, the eve of Tu B’Shevat, providing protection for 800 mispallalim visiting Kever Yosef, which is in PA (Palestinian Authority) occupied Shechem. IDF soldiers and border police maintained a watchful eye as mispallalim entered the PA autonomous area.

During the course of the night, IDF soldiers and border police, working with Shin Bet agents, apprehended 12 wanted suspected throughout Yehuda and Shomron. The suspects are wanted for alleged participation in violence and attacks against Israeli security forces and civilians.
