A Tel Aviv rally in support of the 100 hostages held by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip after 446 days was broken up by police on Wednesday night due to a possible “security incident,” the Israel Police said.
Israeli forces arrested one suspicious person and, “at this point, any concern for a security incident has been removed,” police stated.
Earlier on Wednesday evening, the Israel Police announced that officers were “conducting operational activity and extensive searches.”
“As necessary, and as additional details become available, we will update the public,” the statement added, urging the public to report suspicious individuals or objects to the 100 police emergency hotline.
According to the Maariv daily, authorities declared the security incident after a Palestinian from the Samaria terrorist hub of Jenin infiltrated the Jewish state’s pre-1967 border and traveled to Tel Aviv.
