Amid a surge in nationalist crimes against Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, the IDF is expected to reinforce troops in the Judea and Samaria Division, primarily in the Binyamin Regional Brigade sector. This was reported by a security source to Walla. According to the source, in the past 24 hours Palestinian vehicles were set on fire and vandalized in several locations, agricultural produce was stolen from olive harvesters, and Palestinians were assaulted, including a photographer for The Washington Post. The security source noted that the olive harvest period is known as a time for nationalist crime, and that there are external factors who are not residents of the area arriving to disrupt the harvest. He added that there is an increase in warnings of terrorist attacks, with dozens of warnings per week, and that the IDF is operating with a wide deployment to thwart terrorism, secure the harvest, and prevent violence. The source criticized rabbis whom he said encourage the exceptional actions, stating that they receive backing.
