Residents of Kochav Yair-Tzur Yigal, a town of about 9,000 in Israel’s Sharon region, have told authorities in recent weeks that they feel “shaking and drilling and excavation noises”  at night. 

The town is located only a few hundred meters from the West Bank city of  Kalkilya, which is governed by the Palestinian Authority. Residents are concerned that they are hearing  excavations of tunnels of the sort used by Hamas  in the October 7th attack.  

KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Yuval Arad, mayor of Kohav Yair-Tsur Yigal.
