Security Improvements and Intelligence Gains Post-Defensive Shield – Leon Charney Briefing

Miri speaks about the security landscape in Israel following Operation Defensive Shield, explaining that Israeli incursions into Palestinian cities have yielded a modest but noticeable improvement in security for Israelis. She attributes this to the IDF’s demonstrated resilience and willingness to persist, which she believes is influencing Palestinian behavior, particularly as local security forces begin to take responsibility in places like Bethlehem and Gaza. Miri acknowledges that while terrorism cannot be eliminated entirely, persistent military action and intelligence work can significantly disrupt terrorist operations.
