After more than five months in Judea and Samaria, IDF Paratrooper Brigade forces arrested more than 300 wanted suspects, eliminated 25 terrorists, and seized dozens of weapons.
After already operating heavily in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, the paratroopers arrived in the Judea and Samaria Division about six months ago.
While deployed across the region from north to south, they managed to lead complex operations and bring all the experience they had gained from the many sectors.
These days, the Paratrooper Brigade is completing its mission in the fourth sector in which it has operated for the past two years - the Judea and Samaria Division.
Throughout six months of operational employment, the four Red Battalions were deployed from the north in the Menashe Brigade, to the southern end of the Yehuda Military District. Just before they signed off on this chapter and continued forward toward the next target, we conducted a review with each battalion to understand the situation at the heart of operational activity in the Central Command.
