Bar’el company

Recently, serious and worrying phenomena have been revealed as hundreds of Israeli volunteers in the police force in the so-called “Bar’el Company” are turning into an armed militia operating against the Arabs in the Negev.

“Netzah Yehuda” Brigade

The “Bar’el Company” in the Negev meets the “Netzah Yehuda” Brigade in the West Bank, in which religiously sectarian Jews serve, and some of them settle in random settlement outposts in the West Bank.

“Netzah Yehuda” is a militia that developed as a unit in the occupation army, and its soldiers, who belong to settler families, carry out attacks against the Palestinians. Usually, settler leaders enter its headquarters freely and talk to its soldiers.

The data show that only 3.8% of crimes committed at a nationalistic background by members of the “Netzah Yehuda” Brigade and from groups of settlers against the Palestinians end without an indictment.
