Commentator Hillel Bitton Rosen criticized the military echelon's conduct in Judea and Samaria, saying the flawed concept there is alive and well and that the sector has always been last in the army's priorities, according to a social media post Friday afternoon.
Commentator and former senior military figure Hillel Bitton Rosen issued a sharp critique Friday afternoon of the IDF's conduct in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), asserting that the flawed strategic concept that has governed the sector remains intact. "The concept there is alive and well," he wrote on social media. "The priority of this sector, from the army's perspective, has always been last — and unfortunately, these are the results."
Rosen's remarks come amid a series of recent security incidents in the area, including attacks on Israeli civilians and military personnel. The commentator has previously criticized the military's rules of engagement on other fronts, particularly in Lebanon, where he described restrictive fire orders as a "moral disgrace." His latest statement suggests a similar frustration with the military's posture in Judea and Samaria, though he did not specify a particular event that prompted the post.
The critique reflects a growing public debate over the IDF's resource allocation and operational priorities across Israel's multiple fronts, with some commentators arguing that the Judea and Samaria sector has been neglected in favor of the Gaza and Lebanon theaters.
