The Tekoa security department announced Sunday morning that a military exercise will take place throughout the day in the Judea community. The drill will involve a system simulating gunfire sounds and the movement of security forces in the area. Residents were asked to update family members to prevent unnecessary alarm. For reports, the community provided a phone number.
The exercise follows similar pre-planned drills in other Israeli communities in recent weeks, including in Kedumim and Dovov. The IDF has conducted a series of scheduled training exercises across Judea and Samaria as part of its 2026 training program. As in previous instances, the drill does not indicate a security incident.
