A reservist who was called to serve in Samaria in recent months revealed to residents of one of the localities in the area that before entering the sector they were given a preliminary briefing by a representative of the Jewish Department of the Shin Bet, who warned about some of the Jews in the sector.
He said that at first the fighters thought it was operational preparation for intelligence activity in the Arab villages in the sector, but to their surprise it turned out after a short time that it was actually a representative of the Jewish department of the Shin Bet, who was brought to the scene to brief the IDF forces against acts that the Israeli residents might commit.

The fighters were indignant that during the conversation the man from the Shin Bet was dealing with the Jewish rioters in Yosh and not with the Palestinian terrorism that just this week led to the murder of three Israelis.
"Only after he started talking did we realize that he was not at all concerned with the Arab population, and he came to warn us about the Jews in the sector," said A, the reserve fighter.
"The IDF did not see fit to bring us together for a conversation with another representative on intelligence matters.
Precisely with a Shin Bet man from the Jewish department."
A. added and said that, "The Shin Bet man described to us that the big problem that could ignite the decree is Jews from Mitzhar who throw stones in Hawara." According to him, the Shin Bet man said that "he said that the majority are good and there are some who throw stones at Arabs and sometimes at Jews. that they are so sophisticated that they fail to lay hands on them and that throwing stones by Jews in Hvara can set the section on fire. In his eyes, this was the important emphasis that we must maintain in the section."

The briefing given by the Shin Bet officer to the reserve battalion caused great anger among some of the soldiers. "We were shocked to hear that.
The battalion commander didn't even know who was going to arrive and he was very angry about it.
The Major General said that we will not allow people to break the law, but we have to remember that we are not the UN army, we came to protect the people of Israel," said A.
"What is this thing?" A added and criticized the conversation with the Shin Bet man. "Is this the only thing that should be conveyed to us in an intelligence briefing?
No terrorists, lion dens, terrorist organizations?
A lot of our guys know the cut and know it's also just not true.
To say that throwing stones by Jews in Hawara is what ignites the sect?
Come on, someone here has gone crazy."
The IDF spokesperson did not provide a response, and it will be published when received.
