Hong Kong police have begun to increase their patrols in the city as the war between Israel and Hamas (Palestine) escalates. Hong Kong religious leaders are also asked to be alert for “suspicious individuals”.


Police authority said, “Officers have reached out to [Jewish and Muslim] community leaders in the city to inquire if they need any assistance."


“We have also requested them to inform us if they observe anything abnormal or spot suspicious individuals.”


It was learned that police had asked religious leaders in the city whether they planned to hold any major gatherings or religious events to ensure police could deploy personnel appropriately.


It was said further that police had stepped up patrols at some locations such as the Kowloon Mosque in Tsim Sha Tsui but it was not clearly explained if the patrol would be increased at the Israeli consulate in Admiralty.


“Frontline officers have been instructed to spend more time patrolling around these sites and to be vigilant for any suspicious persons,” police said.


Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the enclave, in response to the October 7 terrorist attacks that killed 1,400 people. More than 2,700 people have died in Israeli airstrikes, the Palestinian health ministry said.

香港警方就以色列和巴勒斯坦戰爭緊張局勢加強了香港的安全巡邏



隨著以色列和哈馬斯(巴勒斯坦)之間的戰爭升級,香港警方開始加強在香港的巡邏。 香港宗教領袖也被要求對「可疑人士」保持警惕。


警方表示, “警方已聯繫該市的[猶太和穆斯林]社區領袖,詢問他們是否需要任何幫助。”


“我們還要求他們如果發現任何異常情況或發現可疑人員,請通知我們。”

另據了解,警方已詢問該市宗教領袖是否計劃舉行大型集會或宗教活動,以確保警方能夠適當部署人員。


他補充,警方已在尖沙咀九龍清真寺等一些地點增加巡邏,但明確解釋是否會在金鐘以色列領事館增加巡邏。


據了解, “前線警察已接到指示,要花更多時間在這些地點周圍巡邏,並對任何可疑人員保持警惕。”


以色列誓言要消滅控制飛地的伊斯蘭組織哈馬斯,以回應 10 月 7 日造成 1,400 人死亡的恐怖攻擊。 巴勒斯坦衛生部表示,以色列空襲已造成 2,700 多人死亡。
