The Chief of Staff held another situation assessment earlier today with the Commander of the Central Command, the Head of the Operations Directorate, and the Head of the Operations Division regarding the ongoing incident in the area.

Within this framework, an order was given to reinforce the sector with an additional regular infantry battalion. The battalion, currently undergoing rest and recuperation, will be deployed to the sector to strengthen operational control. Additionally, further forces will be on standby for activation as needed. The operation is being conducted in a multi-organizational effort with the Israel Police and the General Security Service, with the aim of restoring order, maintaining security in the area, and prosecuting the rioters. Alongside the central mission and ongoing activity to thwart terrorism, while strengthening the defense of the settlements, the Chief of Staff instructed all forces in the Judea and Samaria sector to refine the rules of engagement and use of force in such incidents.
