Preparing for the next attack:
A series of terrorist attacks carried out in the spring by Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, during which 19 people were killed and about 70 civilians injured, led the Border Police to develop a unique technique that trains fighters to attack terrorists within a civilian population.

Popular terrorism focuses on harming civilians and aims to undermine the sense of security needed to lead a normal life for a civilian population.
The severe wave of terrorist attacks that took place this year, with terrorist attacks in Be'er Sheva, Hadera, Bnei Brak, Ariel, Elad, and especially the one that took place in early April on the bustling Dizengoff Street in the heart of Tel Aviv, led the police to develop creative thinking. Train fighters to attack terrorists within a civilian population.
The think tank was led by the Police Training Division and the Border Police.
These came out in competition in the various police districts under the heading of ‘Leading Commanders’, in which each district was required to develop measures that would help improve the policing and combat skills of the fighters, police officers and commanders.
As part of the competition, and in response to the need to train Border Patrol fighters in movement shooting training and outlines of this kind, Assaf Ben David, a border combat instructor of the Jerusalem Border Police, developed the "Assaf facility", which consists of a dynamic target attached to a telescopic pole. To the guide.
Their servant guides the carrier to our death, he can practice the warrior standing in front of him by controlling and moving the target to different sides and ranges.
It should be emphasized that in recent years, Border Police fighters have faced many terrorist attacks in which the perpetrator, fires and poses a threat while moving in arenas saturated with innocent civilians.
"Assaf facility", in its current version, is based on components and parts that are used in various fields.
For example, the telescopic pole that was upgraded and incorporated into the facility, was taken from the field of maintenance and cleaning.
Using the device, shooting in motion within a civilian population can be simulated towards a dynamic target while maintaining eye contact with the object, handling a stop in motion, selecting a path of progress Selective shooting including the practice of preventing injury to uninvolved.
Sergeant Major Assaf Ben-David, after whom the facility is named, says: "The facility we developed is a breakthrough in the learning and training of fighters and police officers.
The development provides a relevant response to the reference threats and simulates the reality on the ground.
The benefit of development compared to the relatively cheap cost of production is a significant advantage for us in the competition. "
