The Defense Ministry's Crossings Authority announced a scheduled security exercise tonight at the Eliyahu crossing (in Samaria), running from 21:00 to 04:00 Monday night into Tuesday morning. Highway 55 will experience intermittent closures during the drill, and residents in the vicinity may hear live fire and explosions. The exercise follows a pattern of similar drills at West Bank crossings in recent days: The Zioneer previously reported a security exercise at the Reihan crossing on Thursday evening (Jun 11, 17:30–21:30) and a drill at the Lachish crossing on Friday morning (Jun 12, 07:00–13:00). All three exercises are conducted by the same authority and include live-fire components and road closures. Coverage is not open to the media and the ministry did not specify the drill scenario.
