- Two dummy explosive devices with PLO flags were found in the Benjamin region.
- Security forces confirmed the devices were fake after an initial inspection.
- The incidents are part of a recurring pattern involving dummy explosives with PLO and Hamas flags.

Two devices with attached PLO flags were discovered in the Benjamin region, prompting a security response. After examination by security forces, it was determined that the devices were dummies and not real explosives. This incident is the latest in a series of similar events where dummy explosives bearing Hamas and PLO flags have been found.
The recurring nature of these discoveries raises questions about their purpose, with one possibility being that they are intended to test the alertness and response times of Israeli forces, as well as their procedures for handling suspicious incidents. However, authorities have not yet established a connection between the various incidents or confirmed if they are part of a planned effort to gather intelligence on security forces' operations.
The police's Judea and Samaria District has opened an investigation into both discoveries. The objective is to identify those responsible for placing the dummy devices and to clarify the circumstances surrounding these events.
