MK Limor Son Har Melech criticized the IDF's resource allocation under Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Blot, noting that forces are being used for agricultural plowing near the Allon axis (where her husband was killed) and to destroy memorials for a terror victim, while no troops are available for offensive counter-terror operations.
MK Limor Son Har Melech (Otzma Yehudit), deputy speaker of the Knesset, issued a sharply worded statement Tuesday morning, criticizing what she described as the 'short blanket' policy of Maj. Gen. Avi Blot, commander of the Central Command. She noted that earlier Tuesday morning, the IDF was conducting plowing operations in fields adjacent to the Allon Axis, at the exact site where her husband, Shuli Son Har Melech, was killed in a terror attack, and where she herself was seriously wounded. She argued that Arab cultivation of these fields in the past led to frequent attacks, and that security improved only after Jewish settlement was established in the area. She also pointed to the overnight destruction of two memorial points for Binyahu Melat, a terror victim. She contrasted these deployments with the military's stated inability to allocate sufficient forces for offensive operations against terror in refugee camps, echoing her earlier criticism of the gap between Defense Minister Israel Katz's directives and Blot's implementation. Her remarks come amid ongoing tensions over force allocation in Judea and Samaria.
