The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have initiated the deployment of the Sentry Tech system, developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, in sensitive areas of the West Bank. This system includes observation towers equipped with remote-controlled firing capabilities. Reports indicate that the IDF plans to install dozens of these systems at the entrances to settlements and conflict points to prevent infiltration. The technology was previously disabled during the October 7 attack. The IDF's move comes amid heightened security concerns, particularly in light of recent threats in Jerusalem, where security forces are on alert following reports of armed individuals in the area.
