Israeli army warns to protect West Bank settlements

Reports have indicated that the Israeli military warned the political leadership about the difficulty of protecting new settlements and settlement outposts in northern the West Bank due to the lack of essential security infrastructure. It was explained that the establishment of these outposts was a swift move not supported by any security justification, and that the escalation of settler violence has led to an increase in the number of active battalions to 26, a record high since the beginning of the war. It was also noted that the roads leading to the settlements pass through Palestinian villages that lack mobile network coverage, which hinders emergency assistance requests. Additionally, the absence of a technological surveillance system forces the army to establish a rapid early warning system. The army is suffering from significant depletion of its forces and warns that the current tensions could damage its readiness for total war, amid ongoing security threats from Jewish terrorism and the expansion of settlement outposts deep into the West Bank.
