The IDF has begun arming the standby squads in 70 settlements in Otef. This is the first phase of a plan to strengthen and arm the standby units, which were insufficiently equipped on October 7, which left the surrounding settlements without protection.
In the coming weeks, additional equipping will be carried out, which will include additional weapons and equipment, and at the same time the distribution of equipment will also be completed in the standby classes in the Northern Command. "The State of Israel works slowly, there are standby classes that need to be taken care of"
