The wife of a member of Israel’s security forces received a suspicious letter in the mailbox of their Ramat Beit Shemesh Home. She notified authorities and was instructed not to open the letter.

A police bomb demolition team was dispatched and they opened it and found the message “revenge” as well as wires inside.

The package did not contain a bomb. An investigation has been launched. Police believe the letter is related to the ongoing machlokes surrounding the induction of chareidim into the IDF.
