Strengthening the Security Barrier: A Task Force was Established in the Judea and Samaria Security Barrier

Following the rise in the threat of terrorism against Israeli civilians in recent months, the IDF has made a wide range of efforts to reinforce the protection along the Judea and Samaria security barrier. As part of these efforts, a decision has been made to establish an operational task force to prevent infiltrations through the Judea and Samaria security barrier, in the Maccabim area.

The task force’s area of responsibility will be commanded by the Commanding Officer of the Kfir Brigade, COL Sharon Altit. The task force will consist of battalions already deployed in the area.

The IDF will continue to operate to prevent infiltrations into Israeli territory through the Judea and Samaria security barrier.
