IDF Establishes New Regional Brigade for Seam Zone Security
(Israel Defense Forces) The IDF is completing the establishment of a new brigade which will be responsible for the seam zone area from south of Kalkilya to the outskirts of Jerusalem - an area that includes 9 Israeli communities and 32 Palestinian villages. The new Macabim Brigade was established to reinforce homeland security in the area of the western seam zone in which the security fence is not yet complete. The brigade will include additional forces for protecting the zone, enabling commanders to focus on preventing infiltration of terrorists into Israel and providing security for the Israeli civilians in the region.
