Israel Police and the Shin Bet (Israel's domestic security agency) have opened an investigation after flyers bearing allegedly threatening content were distributed at several locations in north Tel Aviv. The incident raised concern among residents, after flyers placed in mailboxes included a QR code that led to a web page containing content suspected of being threatening.

Reports about the flyers reached police on Monday morning. Officers from the Yarkon District then arrived at several addresses in the north of the city and conducted sweeps. During the operation, the officers collected findings that could help the investigation.
Police are now examining the circumstances of the flyers' distribution, their source and the identity of those behind them. They are also examining the page the QR code links to, which raised the suspicion that the message is threatening.
The investigation is ongoing.
