The IDF operates a classified system imported from the Gaza border. • Medical personnel use technology to optimally manage events. • In Jerusalem, police and soldiers cooperate with the Special Intelligence Corps and say, "We are the city's last line of defense."
"24/7" is not a worn-out slogan, but the reality of the lives of the soldiers and policemen who staff the soldiers in Judea and Samaria.
Even while we citizens are celebrating the holidays, binging on Netflix or going to bed, in the Judea and Samaria Division, the activity continues as usual and does not stop for a moment. To new seas.
What do they look like and what is the difference between them and what has been until now - "Israel Today" provides you with a first glimpse of the intelligence and technological innovations in the Knesset that fight terrorism and crime in Judea and Samaria.
From Gaza to Judea and Samaria: The system that can detect shootings
The IDF of the IDF Judea is renewing itself with a system with advanced capabilities for counterterrorism known as the "smart space."
The system is based on unique technological means, including various radars and sensors that are currently located mainly on the Gaza border and the northern border. The new Knesset will integrate the activities of the smart space, so that the information reaches operational forces in the field in real time and help prevent attacks.
The commander of the Judea Collection Company, Capt. Amit Cohen, explains: "In the southern Hebron Mountains the border is clear, but in the city of Hebron itself it is not. The casbah of the Arab settlement, for example, is adjacent to the alleys of the Jewish settlement. Of a few hundredths of a second that a soldier has to respond.To deal with this we created the 'smart space', or as we call it here: 'Hebron Smart City', a network of sensors that knows how to monitor the space in real time and identify what is unusual and what is not. At the same time, the smart space collects all the information from the sensors in the sector and makes it accessible to the soldiers quickly and accurately. "
For reasons of field security, it is impossible to expand on the nature of the technological tools and their exact operation, but it is permissible to discover that through them the Knesset members can locate suspects in real time, detect firearms and differentiate between firearms and even provide the forces in the field with information. Which will allow them to close the circle quickly and stop the terrorist.
"The work in the Knesset is Sisyphean work, non-stop," admits Capt. Cohen, "but when you know that your work is the one that led to the arrest of a terrorist before he stopped harming, it is a great satisfaction."
Police and military cooperation prevents terrorism in the capital
In one large room sit in front of eight plasma screens intelligence personnel who receive information from the field - from the police, the Border Police, the IDF and the Shin Bet. They collect all the information, connect them and complete what is necessary - the Knesset also monitors social networks - and summarizes From the information the relevant insights that help to reach the terrorist or offender in real time;
But what is special about this Knesset is that soldiers and policemen sit side by side - working together to prevent terrorist attacks.
Major D., sitting in the IDF as IDF Intelligence Officer: "Cooperation crosses sectors, and if in the past we had difficulty transferring information to each other, today everything is institutionalized and orderly: all parties pour the information into our mouths and we build an intelligence picture that is the beacon Of the fighters, because when you send a fighter to an activity in the field, you must have someone who will light the way for him. "Corporal A., in blue uniform, is the police intelligence officer.
"It was very natural for me and his uncle to find ourselves together," he says, "everyone brings with them their own world of content and experience, and thus it is possible to stop both terrorist and criminal activities."
And this cooperation has results in the field: the United Knesset is behind the identification of a squad of car thieves that operated in Jerusalem by duplicating keys and is also behind the quick identification of the terrorist who carried out a car bomb attack at the station complex earlier this year in the capital. The line that allows the city to behave routinely, without stabbing attacks and without the citizen stealing the vehicle. And for that to happen, they took two bodies and created a synergy between them; the relative advantage that the United Knesset has is an advantage that no one else has, both in technological aspects "We both know how to speak the language of the other body," agrees Rafak A. "There are no ego wars here, because what motivates us is the bottom line: to protect the residents of Jerusalem and the State of Israel."
A bracelet that collects data and a remote control system
And while in Jerusalem, soldiers and policemen work together to prevent terrorist attacks, the Digital Medicine Corps in the Judea and Samaria Division treats everyone - soldiers, policemen, civilians and also residents of the Palestinian Authority.
The Knesset in Judea and Samaria controls a third of the State of Israel and handles all incidents in the area where there are casualties - with the help of implementing command and control systems, WhatsApp groups and other means into the Knesset - into one system, which knows how to receive a report Fast for any occasion.
"We have over 1,500 events a year, so our Knesset is the most active medical Knesset in the IDF," says Knesset officer Lt. Jasmine Eini Aloni. "If in the past we had responded to events and not managed them, over time we realized we must To overcome the gap and provide an immediate solution, so we introduced digital systems whose goal is to make us a complementary force that manages the event in the field even when we are in the Division.
We have a command and control system that connects to the MDA system and we receive regular updates through it and see the exact location of each incident, the locations of civilian ambulances in real time, who jumped to the event and more. This is information we provide to drives in the field. "Life 360 'allows us to track both the military ambulances in real time and also to investigate after an incident what worked well and what did not. All this information reaches the drives in the field at the time of the incident."
"We are working with another system called '101 Digital,'" says Eini Aloni. "This is a digital follow-up form for the victim and his treatment."
"Wounds are attached to a monitoring bracelet that measures blood pressure, heart rate and other metrics, and all this information, including information about the treatment procedure, comes to us at Chamal, and we can transfer it to the hospital quickly and accurately so they can properly prepare for further treatment."
Among all the current incidents that the Knesset has dealt with in the past year, one incident that Lieutenant Eini Aloni does not forget: the incident in which Sgt. Amit Ben Yigal was killed.
"It was deeply ingrained in me. I arrived at the Knesset, we managed the event as calmly as possible, and only after it was all over did we digest what had happened.
We treat every wounded with the same professionalism, but when you understand that it is a soldier, it is still particularly difficult and painful.
We know we did the best we could, but there are things we are not in control of. "The work at the Knesset also provides happy moments, which give strength to move on:" We had a remote birth a few months ago. One of our paramedics jumped and gave birth in the field, and we managed everything "From a distance and we got pictures of the baby a few moments after he was born. It was amazing."
