During its operational deployment, Division 98 applied its combat experience from various fronts over recent years, integrating lessons learned from operations in Gaza and Lebanon. The Yehuda and Etzion brigades, under the division's command, conducted over 1,500 counter-terrorism activities, arresting more than 140 suspects and seizing approximately 35 weapons. This effort aimed to ensure that terror encounters result in civilian safety and routine life.
During clashes within the Yehuda brigade's area of operation, two IDF soldiers, Sergeant Major Ron Yonatan Reitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilem, were killed. Their actions prevented a significant attack against Israeli civilians. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of civilians safely visited the Cave of the Patriarchs during Sukkot and the recent Shabbat Chayei Sarah, under strict security measures and inter-organizational cooperation.
