Protecting Efrat

The Gush Etzion community of Efrat's rapid-response team ran a training exercise on Wednesday night.

For the exercise, this special counter-terrorism unit simulated dealing with a multiple hostage situation inside a school, following an infiltration into the town.

All the terrorists in the exercise were "killed".

In the real world, terrorists infiltrated this week into the nearby towns of Tekoa and Otniel, wounding Michal Froman and murdering Daphna Meir.

The communities of Gush Etzion are on high alert as a result.
