As part of the ongoing preparations to intensify the fight against the spread of the Corona virus in Israel, on Sunday, additional preparatory processes were underway for soldiers expected to signal police officers to be cleared on the streets. Police have sent a message to soldiers joining its ranks to enforce the Ministry of Health guidelines and the expected closure "Please note, work is in front of a non-enemy population."

At the same time, with the special reception of about 500 soldiers to the ranks of the police, as stated to help enforce the Ministry of Health's guidelines and emergency orders, Minister of Public Security Gilad Arden instructed his office and the police to prepare an outline for the absorption of soldiers, as enforcement of the closure is considered a civilian and non-military task. Mainly due to the sensitivity of the soldiers' age to the treatment of an elderly population.

From the legal point of view of police assistance to IDF soldiers, Attorney General Dr. Avihai Mandelblit said that "the issue of police assistance to soldiers in enforcing traffic restrictions was discussed at a meeting held by the PM on Friday" and emphasized that " The Attorney General approved this, subject to the anchoring of the action in a government decision in light of the unusual use of IDF soldiers.

In the background of the preparations, hovering in the sense of closure, the police will find themselves in a never-before-seen rush and a challenge they have never experienced, that is, enforcing traffic restrictions of about 9 million civilians. In light of this, the Ministry of Public Security has built reinforcement models that will enable the police to function and continue to serve the public in all its responsibilities. To this end, they were empowered to assist police inspectors, and government ministries.

As mentioned, the outline for the absorption of the soldiers includes clear guidelines on their responsibilities and how they should fulfill the task. According to the outline: The soldier secures the policeman and only the officer enforces the law, because the police are better prepared and trained for the task. The population must be internalized under pressure, and the soldiers must ask, understand and internalize the public's problems and deal with them accordingly.

The outline also states that soldiers are required to speak clearly, to be patient, and to project maturity and judgment. They are also required to make it clear to the citizens the importance of the closure, and to divert the attention of the officers to civilians who are under stress and anxiety. At the same time, the police are required to encourage the soldiers and express their positions and hardships in the face of the mission.
