New Cmdr. Appointed for Judea & Samaria Division - Defense/Security - News - Israel National News

New Cmdr. Appointed for Judea & Samaria Division - Defense/Security - News - Israel National News: "A force that will defend with moral values, working according to the tradition of the Jewish people and the tradition and ethical code of the IDF, the ‘spirit of the IDF.’ An Israeli defense force, leaning on its love of its people, its country and mankind. A force that operates out of commitment to defend its nation. A determined, moral and professional defense force.”

Alon’s tenure as commander of the Judea and Samaria division was a controversial one, due to his comments against Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.

Most recently, in an interview he gave to The New York Times, Alon expressed concern over “increasing violence” by “radical Israeli settlers,” colloquially called ‘price tag’ operations, which he called “Jewish terrorism.”"
