Security Tightened in Beni Ensar Amid Fears of New Border Incursions into Occupied Melilla

Security Alert Around Occupied Melilla After Incitement Calls Detected

The city of Beni Ensar, in the Nador province, has recently seen a state of intense security alert. This comes as part of precautionary measures taken by Moroccan authorities to ensure public safety and secure the border crossing connecting the city to occupied Melilla.

These security movements follow ongoing fears of mass incursion attempts at border areas, particularly after Moroccan security services monitored heavy activity and suspicious calls circulating on social media platforms, inciting the organization of irregular mass migration operations toward the occupied city.

Securing the Crossing and Maintaining Public Order

Although border traffic has gradually returned to normal, local authorities have decided to maintain a significant security presence around the Beni Ensar crossing and its access points. This step aims to counter any sudden movements that could disrupt normal border activities or threaten the safety of travelers and public facilities.

The crossing previously experienced security disturbances due to mass incursion attempts, which led to a border closure for approximately 36 hours. This prompted relevant authorities to adopt a proactive vigilance strategy to face any similar scenarios.

Close Monitoring of Digital Incitement

Security services in the Nador province are keeping the borders adjacent to Melilla under precise and continuous surveillance, as it remains a sensitive point for periodic illegal crossing attempts. Security agencies are currently working to track sources of electronic incitement aimed at pushing individuals toward mass incursions, reaffirming their strict commitment to law enforcement and protecting the border strip from any breaches that may affect regional sovereignty or security.
