One of the judicial checkpoints operated by security forces in Imzouren, Al Hoceima province, was targeted late Saturday night by unknown individuals, including minors, who carried out a sudden attack on the site. The assailants vandalized equipment and property used for traffic control and regulation enforcement.
According to informed sources, several pieces of equipment were damaged, including the smashing of a security booth attached to the checkpoint. The incident caused a state of alarm among the local security agencies.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the security personnel who were on duty at the location. The attackers fled the scene under the cover of darkness. Swift intervention by security units helped restore order and secure the site.
Investigations have been launched by competent authorities, under the supervision of the public prosecutor, to identify suspects and understand the motives behind this destructive act, which the residents of Al Hoceima strongly condemned due to its detrimental impact on local safety and stability.
This attack occurs amidst growing security tensions in the Rif region. Authorities have stepped up their presence at critical points to prevent escalation and safeguard public order and security facilities.
Imzouren has witnessed sporadic incidents recently, including acts of vandalism and stone-throwing targeting law enforcement officers, intensifying the atmosphere of tension and prompting stricter security measures by the state to curb potential threats.
