Jerusalem, 15 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Local community directors from Israel’s Southern District and the Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria District convened for a bi-district professional conference led by Avital Chen, director of the National Authority for Community Security.
The operational regions span Israel’s southern Negev desert—stretching from the coastal cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon down to the Red Sea port of Eilat—alongside the central highlands of Jerusalem and Israeli communities across the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).
Joined by Senior Field Operations Director Asaf Alon, Chen outlined national headquarters priorities and strategic frameworks. Participants engaged in peer-learning roundtables to address local public safety challenges, share field experience, and standardize coordination between national policymakers and municipal security leaders.
