IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held a joint situation assessment on Tuesday with Shin Bet head David Zini and Inspector General of the Police Dani Levy. The meeting focused on security preparations for the coming weeks, amid ongoing election preparations, and addressed the escalating issue of nationalist crime and its potential impact on security stability. According to Channel 13, Zamir stated during the meeting, "We cannot continue like this. I cannot put a soldier on every meter." The security leaders were presented with updated intelligence on both the country's borders and internal security. Operational efforts to enhance multi-arena defense, continue intensive fighting against terrorist organizations, and address nationalist crime were detailed. These discussions come in the wake of a recent surge in nationalist crime incidents, which have drawn widespread condemnation. One notable incident occurred about a week ago in the village of Jalud in the Samaria region, where over 100 Jewish perpetrators raided the village while IDF forces were escorting a Palestinian family returning to their home, two months after they were forced to leave. During the raid, the family's home was set ablaze and stones were thrown at the soldiers. The incident was condemned by the Prime Minister and other senior officials.
