Israel proposes new C Brigade: 800-strong force for Area C policing

The Shin Bet and police propose establishing a specialized 'C Brigade' of about 800 fighters and police to operate in Area C of the West Bank, administratively under the Central Command but with full civilian policing powers. This marks a notable shift in security force posture, potentially formalizing military-civilian integration in contested territory. The proposal's approval and operational impact remain uncertain.
