...where they also will be useful against Hamasniks and other miscreants as well. [IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says it will be bolstering the West Bank with two additional battalions, following a recent string of settler attacks against Paleostinian villages and towns.The IDF says the decision was made following a fresh assessment. Last week, following a deadly terror attack at a gas station near the settlement of Eli, the army deployed four more battalions to the area. Typically, the IDF’s West Bank division has 13 battalions. Over the past year and a half, that number has fluctuated because of an anti-terror offensive, following a series of deadly Paleostinian terror attacks, reaching a height of 26 battalions in October 2022, before dropping back down by several battalions. |
