”It’s only 70 Israeli teens, and they were arrested” - IDF General sets record straight

IDF Brigadier General Res. Erez Winner sets the record straight on Judea and Samaria — "it's only 70 Israeli teens, and there were arrests."

Recorded August 31, 2026.

In this IDSF Strategic Briefing, IDF Brigadier General Res. Erez Winner, the chairman of IDSF, reveals what Shin Bet chief David Zini told him directly: the inner circle is just 70-100 young rebels, most not even residents of Judea and Samaria.

From the beginning of 2025, zero Palestinians were killed by settlers — every fatal incident was IDF fire. So why does the world hear "settler violence"? Winner exposes the well-financed, well-covered media campaign using edited films that show only one side of every collision — a narrative he was forced to answer for in meetings with U.S. Senators and Congressmen.

He also reveals what happens next: how Shin Bet now detains these young extremists for months without judge or trial — measures previously reserved for active Arab terrorists — why they have no rabbi and rebel against every authority, and why IDF combat motivation is SURGING despite the war.
