Israeli army warns on West Bank settlements
The Israeli military warned the political leadership about the difficulty of protecting settlements and new settler outposts in northern the West Bank due to the lack of necessary security infrastructure. They considered establishing such infrastructure a hasty step driven by political motives. It was emphasized that the escalation of settler violence has led to an increase in the number of military units to 26 battalions this week, a record high since the start of the war, compared to 13 battalions in 2022 during Operation "Break the Wave." They also pointed out the absence of monitoring systems or technology in the new areas, which threatens to slow down rescue operations and emergency responses. Additionally, there is only one road connecting the settlements, passing through several Palestinian villages that lack cellular coverage. The current security situation was described as unprecedented, with forces being drained and the army now permanently deploying its brigades in Jenin, Nablus, and Ramallah. Moreover, 103 new settler outposts have been established during the current government, some of which have been rebuilt after being evacuated 21 years ago. The military indicated that they currently need to develop an early warning system but lack a clear plan, which jeopardizes their readiness for a full-scale war and increases the risks to civilians.
