The Defense Ministry announces it has procured 50 armored vehicles for the military to use in its near-nightly raids across the West Bank.
Since the spring, the Israel Defense Forces has been conducting arrests in the West Bank following a series of Palestinian terror attacks.
Troops have repeatedly come under fire during the operations.
The ministry says the Plasan Sasa Ltd. Sand Cat vehicles were obtained through an “expedited” order, amid the West Bank operations.
The vehicle is based on the Ford F-550 platform.
