Reports emerged Thursday evening of heavy gunfire originating from the direction of the Palestinian village of Qadum, near the Israeli settlement of Kedumim in the West Bank. The Kedumim security team was mobilized, and security forces deployed along the settlement's perimeter fence. Flares were observed in the sky above the settlement. The incident is being investigated as a possible clan dispute occurring several hundred meters from Kedumim's homes. According to the Kedumim Council, the event is not a security incident within the settlement, and residents were instructed to continue their routines as normal. Security forces from the council were stationed on the fence between the village and the settlement, and the rapid response team was deployed. The Kedumim Council stated they are in constant contact with the IDF and will not permit "shooting rampages in Qadum for any reason." The current assessment suggests the gunfire is likely related to an internal dispute between clans in the village, located just hundreds of meters away. No special instructions have been issued to residents at this time.
