On video: Trample and stabbing attack: at least 19 injured in several scenes in the city/according to Section 27 A of the Copyright Law, Reuters
Against the background of the attack that happened in Ra'anana about two weeks ago, during which a 70-year-old woman was murdered, and due to the infiltration of illegal residents into the homeland of the State of Israel, security officials are warning against further attacks.
Recently, several discussions were held on the issue in the security system, with the intention of examining the response to closing the loopholes and the infiltration routes of the Palestinians from the IDF.
IDF data shows that the number of infiltrators caught along the seam line in the IDF in 2023 is over 11,000. This is despite the improvements made to the fence and the wall, and despite The thickening of the regular and reserve forces. The number of infiltrators caught since the beginning of the war is about 1,000. The IDF estimates that as time passes when the Israeli government does not decide on the issue of the Palestinian laborers working in the IOS and the hinterland (whose number exceeds 130,000) not only will the pressure on the Palestinian street increase , and with it the economic hardships that will lead to violence and terrorism, but there will be an increase in the number of Israelis entering Israel through the seam line.
Along the line there are many loopholes.
It is further estimated that the audacity of those seeking to enter Israel will increase, including taking the risk of confronting the forces.

A security source told Walla!: "The system that operates the Shebahim phenomenon is recovering, despite the pressure exerted by the IDF, including elements on the Palestinian side and the Israeli side who take risks and transport, employ and train Shebahim.
The fear of the October 7 effect is fading.
Until there is much more aggressive enforcement by the Israel Police, and the judicial system does not impose heavy penalties, it will be very difficult to deal with the phenomenon and the next attack is only a matter of time.
" , and other technological solutions, alongside the security improvement along the seam line and the construction of the wall in the Hatmar Menashe and Ephraim area.
But it is not enough.
A combination of the arms of all the factors is required." Today there are several projects to strengthen the defense along the seam line, including the "Lot barrier" - an engineering barrier that prevents the passage of infiltrators and infiltrator vehicles in the southern sector. Another measure is a wall and fence known as the "hourglass", which are currently being built in the northern Samaria region.
