Israeli Police Deny Terror Threat Rumors in Haifa Area, Urge Public to Avoid Spreading False Information

The Israeli police issued an official statement on Wednesday denying recent rumors circulating on social media about an alleged terror threat in the Haifa region. Contrary to the unverified reports claiming an intelligence alert about a lone attacker from Hebron planning an attack on a business, restaurant, or café in Haifa, the police confirmed there is no suspicion of any security incident and no change in public guidelines.

The police emphasized that security forces in the Carmel area are operating with heightened alertness and readiness in coordination with other security agencies to ensure public safety. They urged the public to continue their daily routines, remain vigilant, and report any suspicious activity to emergency number 100.

This clarification follows numerous inquiries from journalists and citizens prompted by the social media rumors. The police stressed the importance of relying solely on official sources for information and warned against spreading unconfirmed reports. They also noted that further updates will be provided if necessary.

This incident is part of a series of recent false security alerts on social media, including a similar unsubstantiated claim about a terror attempt at the Hadar Mall in Jerusalem a few weeks ago.
