An Israeli entered the Samarian Palestinian Authority town of Tulkarm Thursday evening with material suspected of being drugs, according to the Spokesperson's Office of the Israel Defense Forces. The Israeli was removed from the town by PA security services, in coordination with the Israeli Civil Administration for Judea and Samaria, before he was turned over to Israeli police.

The army reminds the public that entry into Area A, under full Palestinian Authority control, is prohibited unless coordinated with Israeli authorities. Entry into Area B, under some Israeli control, is also dangerous and not recommended.
