The IDF has been training settler security units to cope with any eruption of Palestinian protests alongside a planned bid for statehood at the United Nations next month, settler and military officials said on Tuesday.


Israel has long permitted settlers to carry weapons in the West Bank, but has now stepped up drills among dozens of civil defense teams ahead of a UN General Assembly vote expected in mid-September, the officials said.
