Update:: Palestinian Police: The Suspicious Parcels Found Were Fake

SadaNews - The spokesperson for the police, Major Louai Arzeqat, stated this evening, Tuesday, that the suspicious parcels that were recently dealt with were found to be fake parcels, placed with the intention of sending threat messages and causing anxiety, in an attempt to destabilize security and stability.

Arzeqat explained in a press statement that the explosives engineering and forensic evidence unit dealt with them according to established procedures, without recording any injuries or damages. Meanwhile, the general investigations department has begun searching and investigating to trace their source and sender.
  
The police warned against anyone bringing suspicious items or attempting to turn Palestinian territories into a battleground for settling disputes, confirming that legal actions will be taken against anyone proven to be involved in such acts that threaten public peace and security.

Earlier, Arzeqat announced that the Qalqilya police were currently dealing with a suspicious parcel found inside a taxi office in the town of Jayyous, east of Qalqilya.

He explained that the taxi office received the parcel from unknown individuals with the intention of delivering it to a restaurant in the city of Tulkarem. However, the workers in the office suspected its contents and opened it, where they found a mobile phone attached to a suspicious object.

Immediately, a police force moved to the location, evacuating the office and closing the area as a precaution until the explosives engineering unit arrived to handle the parcel. The police urged citizens to stay away from the site to ensure their safety and to allow the specialized teams to work and remove the threat.

In a developing situation, the Palestinian police confirmed that after receiving accurate intelligence, another suspicious parcel was sent to a commercial store in the city of Tulkarem.

Immediately, a team from the explosives engineering and police departments moved to the site, closing the area to handle the suspicious item, and confirmed that investigations and follow-ups are ongoing, as part of their commitment to public safety and preventing any potential threats.
