Residents of Emek Chafer and surrounding communities in the Menashe Regional Council are urged by police to travel with car windows closed. This is the result of six cases in the past two weeks in which drivers were forced out of their vehicles and the carjackers making off with the vehicles.

One of the cases involved a female soldier who was forced out of her vehicle at knifepoint. In another case, a frightened driver fled and she was struck by a vehicle as she was running without paying attention to road conditions.
