Broad area of activity
The West Bank, described at strategic scale only; its territorial brigades are not separate records.
Notable history
The division of record for IDF operations in the West Bank, under which the northern camps campaign has been conducted: "Summer Camps" in Jenin and Tulkarm from 28 August 2024 and Operation Iron Wall from 21 January 2025, which emptied Jenin camp and extended to Tulkarm and Nur Shams. The camps it cleared are the subject of the module's Watch question on the northern camps' return, and OHCHR's casualty and displacement figures for the operation are the counting body's, not the division's.
Strengths
The permanent formation of a front the IDF holds continuously, with territorial brigades, the Border Police and the Israel Security Agency alongside it.
Limitations
A territorial division's record is structural: no brigades, strength, positions or current operations are published or recorded, and the operations are described from campaign and UN records rather than from the division's own releases.
