Following repeated frictions between Israeli and Palestinian travelers in the West Bank, when an unusual event occurred last Saturday, the IDF is sharpening procedures on how to go out for a walk in the area.

A group of Israeli settlers who left the Yair farm area in Samaria for a trip were attacked by Palestinians when they went for a trip to Nahal Kana in the area.
One of the residents felt threatened and opened fire.
One of the Palestinians was killed as a result of the shooting.

The IDF is trying to learn lessons and sent a letter to the managers of the security departments and the chiefs of staff, with instructions that are also intended for the residents of the Yosh: "In recent weeks, we have witnessed several groups of travelers who travel without the knowledge of the army officials and get caught up in security incidents, putting their lives at risk."
"On point-by-point trips around the settlements, it is required of the rabshets and security trustees to update and report to the regional army forces."
