Members of the “koach mirdaf” who pursue thieves and terrorists who engage in agricultural terror have commenced training with security/tracking dogs that they have received from the IDU.

Deputy Chief of security of the Barkan Industrial Area also joined IDU training this week, pictured below:

 Barkan suffered multiple attacks over the past year. Unfortunately, they had no tracking or patrol dogs back then.

(On the morning of 7 October 2018, a “Palestinian” gunman opened fire on several Israelis in the Barkan Industrial Park, killing two Israelis - Kim Levengrond Yechezkel, Hy”d, and Ziv Hajabi, Hy”d  and critically injuring another.)

This brings the total number of security patrol or tracking dogs in the IDU security division to 72. An additional 350 guard dogs have also been placed joining more than 30 Search and Rescue Dogs.
