 military, infantry, battalion, Israel Defense Forces (IDF)
Yehuda (Territorial) Brigade
generally deployed around Hebron supported by

96th Battalion ('Lavi' : Lion) of the 900th Kfir Infantry Brigade

The battalion was formed towards the end of the 90s, when the IDF sought to assign each battalion with a sector in order to create complete familiarity and specialization with the terrain. The battalion is responsible for the southern Mt. Hebron and the city of Hebron, situated in the Judea territorial brigade. The photograph above illustrates that the Kiryat Arba Camp is also home to detachments from the 35th Paratrooper Brigade with which the Lavi Battalion has a paratrooper training association.
