June 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cPolice officers and police bomb disposal experts from the Judea and Samaria District, together with Border Police bomb disposal units operating in Judea and Samaria, are currently conducting searches in the Samaria area for fallen projectile debris,\u201d the force stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe public is urged to remain attentive and follow all instructions issued by the relevant authorities,\u201d it said. \u201cIsrael Police remains fully deployed across all communities and will continue to operate to ensure the safety and security of the public.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reut Ben Gigi, whose home was impacted by one of the missiles in Samaria, described the experience as \u201cvery frightening\u201d in an interview with Ynet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ran to the bomb shelter with my baby in my arms together with my husband and our two older children. We managed to get there, but some of our neighbors did not. Only after we came out of the shelter and understood what had happened did we realize how close we were to disaster. We are asking that more shelters be added in the neighborhood so that every family can reach a protected space in time,\u201d she told the outlet.<\/p>\n
Four homes in the community were damaged by the impact of an Iranian missile, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Ben Gigi said that the town has only one bomb shelter for 40 families.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes me a minute [to enter the shelter] because I live nearby; others need to drive. It\u2019s crowded and suffocating there. We were raised from a young age on \u2018holding on,\u2019 even though they try to break us. We will try to get more shelters so there will be a protected space for our children,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, was quoted as saying, \u201cThe strike in the heart of a residential neighborhood could have ended in a major disaster. Samaria is Israel\u2019s interception line, and in this case also its impact line. We will continue to support the affected families and assist them as needed. At the same time, the state must close the protection gaps in the communities and add shelters in order to save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Air-raid sirens sounded repeatedly across northern Israel and Samaria overnight Sunday and into Monday morning as Iran fired missile targeting the country, including the Jerusalem area.<\/p>\n
The Israel Defense Forces said most of the projectiles were intercepted, and no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
