IDF Redeploying to Protect Israeli Settlements
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Officials at the IDF's Central Command say the three previous infiltrations into the West Bank settlements of Adura, Karmei Tzur, and Elon Moreh, as well as the ambush in Hebron, also took place on a Friday night. The IDF is formulating the construction of "special security zones" around the settlements: placing additional fences and building observation points inside a 300-meter stretch outside the settlements. Ever since the infiltrations began a year ago, many army company and regiment outposts have been physically moved to locations inside the settlements, allowing the swift response of the Lavie regiment in Otniel. The IDF says that 21 infiltration attempts into settlements have been foiled in the past month.
