The Israel Police on Wednesday evening responded to reports on social media in the last few hours, which said that suspects were seen near residential buildings as they were taking pictures of them.

"It should be stressed that in all of the incidents investigated by police officers, no suspicion of hostile destructive activity was raised. As a general rule, and certainly these days, any report of this type is handled quickly and thoroughly by the thousands of policemen and fighters who are present in all the cities with increased forces and are ready for any scenario," said the police.

The statement added that "in order not to cause panic, the public is asked not to spread these messages online and to hand them over to the police without delay."
