The anti-terror unit of the police department reminded the public on Monday of guidelines for dealing with suspicious envelopes and packages, following the discovery of two envelopes with explosives at the Migdal Haemek branch of the post office. Mail distribution was suspended nationwide.

They stated to be suspicious of envelopes or packages without a return address or an unknown address. If your name or address has errors, that could also be a difficulty. Also suspicious are handwritten notes in Hebrew or a foreign language that the package is personal, to be opened only by the addressee, "express", "urgent" and the like.

Watch out for an unecessarily wide or hard package. The sight of electrical wiring or a thermostat will probably arouse the suspicion of postal employees as well.

If you have suspicions, don't try to open the package. Isolate it and call the police
