An Israeli couple and their one-year-old son were mistakenly brought into Area A near Bethlehem on Thursday evening, prompting a joint security operation for their safe extraction. The family, who were traveling with tourists, reported their situation to Israeli police around 8:25 PM after realizing they had entered the restricted zone.
