The Israeli police have proposed the creation of a special brigade, potentially comprising up to 800 officers, to combat nationalist violence in Judea and Samaria. This initiative, reported by Ynet, aims to address a shortage of forces and improve coordination between the police, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and the General. The plan is a response to an increase in incidents and perceived gaps in law enforcement in the region.
The proposed unit, to be named "Brigade C," would be administratively subordinate to the commander of the Central Military District. It would integrate police and combat units equipped with advanced intelligence and investigation tools. The brigade would focus on managing conflicts in open areas and patrolling agricultural farms, allowing army units to concentrate on counter-terrorism operations.
The deployment envisions a phased approach, involving the transfer of Border Police personnel and the recruitment of new officers. However, the project has not yet received final approval from police leadership or the relevant ministry. Disagreements also persist among agencies regarding the funding sources for the new unit, which is expected to incur significant budgetary costs.
