Dozens of security coordinators (Rabbatzim) from Judea and Samaria protested in Tel Aviv on Sunday, October 18, 2026, using operational Toyota pickup trucks purchased by the Ministry of Defense for security in their areas. The protest was held against the backdrop of a Shin Bet investigation into a Rabbatz and an IDF officer suspected of a security offense. The details of the investigation are under a gag order and are being handled by the Shin Bet and the police.
The use of the security vehicles for a protest outside the Rabbatzim's operational zones in Judea and Samaria, specifically on the Ayalon highway and in the Gush Dan area, drew criticism from within the defense and political establishments. These vehicles are intended for protecting residents in Judea and Samaria and responding to incidents in nearby areas. The Ministry of Defense had not yet issued a response regarding the protest and the use of its vehicles.
