Three years after the events of October 7, the IDF is undertaking a major overhaul of the operational doctrine and structure of its field observer array, Arutz 7 and Srugim reported. As part of lessons learned from the disaster, surveillance command posts will be moved back from the border line or undergo extensive fortification.

According to the reports, the move includes upgrades to advanced technological systems, including the "Roeh-Yoreh" remote weapons system. In addition, an emphasis will be placed on the training curriculum for the unit's soldiers, which will incorporate firearms instruction and Krav Maga drills.

Further details regarding the timeline for completing the changes have not yet been released.
