Israeli Arabs disguised as IDF soldiers robbed a store in the Dhariya area near Hebron earlier this morning, prompting a chase by IDF and Israel Police forces during which they opened fire. No casualties were reported, according to a post on X by @BittonRosen. Throughout the three-hour period from 7:16 a.m. to 10:16 a.m. UTC, reports also highlighted ongoing security concerns in Gaza. Hamas resumed rocket production, with IDF forces attacking some workshops in response to violations, as stated in a post on X by @yoavzitun. Hamas sent Gazans daily to IDF posts for intelligence gathering, including one last week detected 150 meters from a defender near Gaza City outskirts. The suspect was arrested after raising his hands and shirt. Another terrorist stole equipment from a southern Gaza Strip IDF post last week and was later eliminated by air. Dozens of Arab laborers, including Bedouin, are employed by the security establishment to build IDF outposts, raising concerns among officers. A sector commander noted exposure to sensitive data and relatives in Gaza, despite background checks, prioritizing manpower savings over soldier tasks, per @yoavzitun's post. Workers and soldiers operate near undiscovered Hamas tunnels, including two large ones recently found on the Israeli side of the yellow line. The army estimates years needed to map and destroy them, some extending under the border.
