The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have initiated the deployment of the Sentry Tech system, known as 'Roeh-Yoreh', in sensitive areas of the West Bank. This system, produced by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, includes observation towers equipped with remote-controlled firing capabilities. Reports indicate that the IDF plans to install dozens of these systems at the entrances of settlements and along contact points to prevent infiltration. The technology was previously disabled during the October 7 attack, highlighting its strategic importance. Concurrently, security forces in Jerusalem are on high alert following intelligence reports of a potential terrorist threat, leading to the establishment of roadblocks and increased patrols in the area. Authorities are actively searching for suspects after an empty vehicle linked to the threat was found.
