The operation, which commenced Monday, is being led by the IDF’s Central Command, the IDF’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Ministry of Health, and the Crossings Authority. It includes the establishment of dedicated vaccination complexes at several crossings and in industrial areas throughout the PA-run areas of Judea and Samaria.
So far, more than 50,000 Palestinian workers with employment licenses in Israel have been given the first vaccine.
