IDF troops to stop assisting with lockdown enforcement after criticism
The military says it will be returning the soldiers it loaned to the Israel Police to assist in enforcing the national lockdown, following criticism that the troops were being used inefficiently and — in some cases — to break up political protests.
Instead, the police will be reinforced by border guards. The Israel Defense Forces will fill in for the Border Police in security missions in the West Bank.
