IDF boosting presence of troops across West Bank ahead of holiday
The IDF says that ahead of the holiday of Sukkot, which begins this evening, it is boosting the presence of troops across the West Bank.
The IDF spokesman says that “following an assessment of the situation,” a number of military companies will be deployed throughout the Central Command area.
Such a move, it says, will “strengthen the defense” of settlements in the area and along the Green Line.
