Division 98 of the IDF has concluded its operational mission in the Judea and Samaria region, where it was deployed on September 25 to bolster command, control, and attack capabilities. The division applied its extensive combat experience from Gaza and Lebanon, adapting lessons learned to the West Bank theater. Under its command, regional brigades conducted over 1,500 counter-terrorism operations, resulting in the arrest of more than 140 suspects involved in hostile activities. During these operations, approximately 35 weapons and munitions were discovered. Tragically, two IDF soldiers, Sergeant Major Ron Yonatan Reitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilem, were killed in clashes in the Judea brigade area. Their bravery prevented a severe attack against Israeli civilians. In addition to combat, the division's forces successfully secured hundreds of thousands of worshippers and visitors at the Tomb of the Patriarchs during the Sukkot intermediate days and the recent Shabbat "Chayei Sarah" weekend. With the mission's completion, in close cooperation with the Judea and Samaria Division, Division 98 will now serve as a strategic reserve, focusing on enhancing its readiness for future operational scenarios across all fronts.
