The Chief of the General Staff Visits the Jordan Valley Brigade

The Chief of the General Staff toured with commanders the area where the terrorist that fired at the Beka'ot community was eliminated two weeks ago, and held a situational assessment with the commanders regarding the eastern border and security efforts in Samaria and the Jordan Valley.

Following this, discussions were held with the heads of the local municipalities and councils of Bik'at HaYarden, Emek HaYarden, Emek HaMaayanot, and Megilot.

From the remarks of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi: “The IDF is operating on seven fronts with very different characteristics. We are here first and foremost to strengthen security, and then also the sense of security. There is great importance in the rapid response teams. We are working to reinforce them and investing a lot in this effort. We will be here with as many forces and resources as possible to build better security infrastructure that will provide better protection for the communities. This will also happen thanks to the partnership between us and you.”
