Israel expands West Bank deployment, adds Gaza force

Entities: Shin Bet · Israel Police · Benjamin Netanyahu · Israeli settlers in the West Bank · West Bank

Overview

Since late July 2026 Israel has intensified its security posture on two fronts. The Defence Ministry announced that the army will widen operations in the occupied West Bank, targeting alleged terrorist sites in Jenin, Nur Shams and Tulkarm, and prepared a reserve call‑up of up to 240,000 personnel through September in response to a surge in settler‑related violence. On 26 July the IDF placed 26 battalions, together with police and Shin Bet units, across the West Bank ahead of the Tishrei holidays, warning that failure to contain unrest could spiral out of control and noting a lack of coordination with settlers that diverts troops from counter‑terrorism tasks.

Concurrently, the Israeli government confirmed the deployment of roughly 200 troops from allied nations to operate in Gaza outside the "yellow line" under a multinational "Peace Council" framework. The army cautioned that rising settler attacks could again trigger reserve mobilisation, potentially straining readiness for any flare‑up with Lebanon or Iran, while seeking to avoid over‑taxing the reserve system.

Together, these steps show a coordinated effort to broaden military presence in the West Bank, reinforce forces through large‑scale reservist mobilisation, and introduce an international security element in Gaza amid heightened tension.
