Israel Army Raises New Division to Guard Eastern Border

Israeli Ground Forces Expand

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are raising a sixth combat division to patrol the country's eastern border. The move comes after a series of terrorist attacks on Israelis working along the frontier with Jordan.

Divison Offsets Terrorist Risk

The new unit, called the 80th Division, will be based in the southern Arava region, near the border with Jordan. The troops will be responsible for securing the border and responding to terrorist threats.

The IDF has stepped up its patrols along the border in recent months, deploying additional troops and surveillance equipment. The new division will provide additional manpower and resources to protect Israelis from attack.

Border Security Preoccupation

The creation of the new division is a sign of the IDF's growing concern about security along its eastern border. The border has been a target for terrorist attacks in recent years, and the IDF is determined to prevent future incidents.

The 80th Division will work closely with the Jordanian military to ensure security along the border. The two countries have a long history of cooperation in security matters, and the IDF is confident that the new division will help to keep both countries safe.

Counterterrorism Objective

The new division is part of the IDF's broader efforts to counterterrorism. The IDF has been investing heavily in new technologies and training to improve its ability to detect and respond to terrorist threats.

The IDF's efforts are paying off. The number of terrorist attacks in Israel has declined significantly in recent years. The new 80th Division will help to ensure that this trend continues.
